> the first legislation in recent years designed to add seats to the high court
The article bizarrely does not qualify "recent", but that's an understatement, to say the least. The court has been at 9 justices since 1869, and the most recent unsuccessful attempt to change it was in 1937. If successful, this would be the first change in size in 152 years.
