From NFRW Legislation and Research Committee

The NFRW Legislation & Research Committee has a huge success story for our members!

One of NFRW’s initiatives has been the Keep Nine Amendment. We have worked to increase awareness and pass the amendment that will permanently set the Supreme Court at nine justices. If Democrats pack the Court, we will lose our Republic. The only way to keep an independent Supreme Court and stop court-packing is this amendment which simply says, “The Supreme Court of the United States shall be composed of nine justices.”

The 2024 Republican Platform that emerged from the Platform Committee contains this firm wording: “We will maintain the Supreme Court as it was always meant to be, at 9 Justices. We will not allow the Democrat Party to increase this number, as they would like to do, by 4, 6, 8, 10, and even 12 Justices. We will block them at every turn.”

In a July 9 article John Fund of the National Review wrote, “Platform Committee leaders told grassroots activists from the 60,000-member National Federation of Republican Women (NFRW) that their influence was pivotal in getting this language included in the platform.” NFRW had 27 members on the Platform Committee, but efforts to enact the Keep Nine Amendment have been ongoing for several years.

This is a wonderful shoutout from a highly respected source. Our efforts do matter, and this gives us even more reason to keep up our advocacy for the Keep Nine Amendment, along with our initiatives on Border/Immigration, Economy and Parental Rights.
