No, it doesn't. The Constitution doesn't give a number for the quantity of SCOTUS judges. It would need 60 Senators to vote in support of it, but it wouldn't need to be ratified by any State Legislatures.
Is there any reason they can’t change the rules and remove the filibuster on that too?
Senator Joe Manchin.
They don’t need Manchin if they use their secret weapon: Lisa Murkowski.
