Which is irrelevant because it wouldn't take a constitutional amendment to pack the court. The Constitution doesn't give a number of justices. It empowers congress to "from time to time ordain and establish" the Supreme Court and lower courts.

So adding justices and creating districts just takes normal legislation.

A voters knowledge of the constitution is irrelevant? Welcome to 2020 frens.

Op wouldnt be begging for an answer if op already knew the answer. We need to educate ourselves better and quit begging others online like the left with their talking heads on the tube.

No, the process to amend the Constitution is irrelevant to the question of how to pack the courts because that doesn't require an amendment.

Final question of the op:" Would Congress have to vote on an amendment?" I was not speaking toward the answer. I was speaking to the lack of knowledge on constitutional amendment procedure.
