The Constitution doesn't mention nine Justices.

No it doesn't. But the House has no Constitutional say in the judiciary unless it's an amendment.

This is the Democrats trying to get around the fillibuster. It'll fail but the Democrats are trying to set precedent. They have no fucking concern for our founding document

Yes they do, they and the senate determine the entire make up of the federal court system. Ever wonder how we have various circuits with judges that sit on them? It is called “legislation.” Do you know which body of government enacts “legislation?”

The Senate is involved in that. Not the House.

The House is only involved in impeachment & salaries when it comes to federal judges.

I think you're referencing the Judiciary Act of 1891 but that was agreed upon by all justices at the time and that was not limiting the power of the Supreme Court because those judges serve under the justices.
