New: Senate Republicans on Friday offered a retort to months of Democrat scrutiny on the Supreme Court, introducing a constitutional amendment that would block lawmakers from adding more justices to the high court’s bench.

Several senators are itching to speak (Kennedy asked and then Whitehouse threw his name in) but Grassley is *not* keen to keep this meeting going, saying that there is "plenty of time" to debate Patel next week. But it seems like he'll let the sens yap after votes on cmte rules.

Sen. Durbin is using the opportunity to rehash his concerns with Patel & again demanding that GOP hold another hearing on the nominee - Grassley has already refused. Durbin says he was "disappointed, but not surprised," about that refusal.
Senate Judiciary, as expected, is holding over vote on Kash Patel for FBI director at the request of Dems. But GOP is mad that Dems are making the panel meet in person to do so, with Sen. Grassley complaining that they are "establishing a double standard" from past GOP courtesy.

House Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday became the latest Republican leader to deny that the White House is trampling on congressional authority as it eyes shuttering certain federal agencies without input from lawmakers.
