Plain-language change summary

In the latest version of House Concurrent Resolution 2002, the phrases about maintaining the independence of the United States Supreme Court and altering the number of justices have been removed. This change simplifies the language of the bill by focusing solely on the goal of keeping the Supreme Court at nine members without discussing the implications for its independence. This matters because it clarifies the bill's intent and emphasizes the importance of having a consistent number of justices on the court without additional concerns introduced.
