SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
  WHEREAS, An independent United States Supreme Court is an
  essential element of America's system of checks and balances that
  protects our constitutional rights; and
         WHEREAS, For more than 150 years, the U.S. Supreme Court has
  been composed of nine justices; and
         WHEREAS, The president and congress should be prohibited from
  undermining the independence of the court by changing the number of
  appointed justices; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the 87th Legislature of the State of Texas
  hereby respectfully urge the Congress of the United States to
  propose and submit to the states for ratification the "Keep Nine"
  amendment to the United States Constitution, stating that "The
  Supreme Court of the United States shall be composed of nine
  justices"; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That the Texas secretary of state forward official
  copies of this resolution to the president of the United States, to
  the president of the Senate and the speaker of the House of
  Representatives of the United States Congress, and to all the
  members of the Texas delegation to Congress with the request that
  this resolution be entered in the Congressional Record as a
  memorial to the Congress of the United States of America.
