“You know, listen: The president created a commission to look into this [whether to expand the number of seats on the Supreme Court], so I’m not going to get ahead of him on this issue. The president’s working on this, and as a member of the House, too, I’d let folks know that we have no jurisdiction over this. This falls directly to the Senate, so I’m going to let them, you know, deal with this.”
