LETTER: The Supreme Court and America’s population

Letter writer John Carrier in his Tuesday comments says “there were nine members of the U.S. Supreme Court in 1900 when the population was 76 million, and today we still have nine members with 330 million population.” He says that means we should increase the number of justices.
