Legislation to limit the Supreme Court to nine seats might even pass on unanimous votes, or at least far more than would be needed for a veto override.

There already is a statute limiting the Supreme Court to 9 seats. You would need new legislation to increase the number of justices.

An easy change if Dems hold both houses. They’d change rules so that it could be passed by simple majority vote.
