On today's podcast, we are sitting down with Paul Summers and Steve Rosenthal, two of the men behind the Keep Nine Coalition. Paul is a former Tennessee attorney general and appeals court judge, and Steve is the former attorney general of Virginia. Both men are on a mission to create a constitutional amendment that prescribes the number of Supreme Court justices to nine. Today, we talk about why.
