Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) said he’d be in favor of adding seats to the U.S. Supreme Court.

During an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday, Clyburn said he supports an idea floated by former senator and presidential candidate Kamala Harris to expand the court to 13 seats.

“I think that we are in a position now that calls for some significant actions taken by the Congress, and we ought to expand it,” he said. “Thirteen is a pretty good number; a baker’s dozen will be a good number to have on the court.”

Aug 31 (Reuters) - Closing arguments are set for Monday in the trial of an ex-gang leader accused of masterminding the drive-by killing of hip-hop legend Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas, a cold case that became emblematic of violence permeating 1990s rap culture.

Duane “Keffe D” Davis, 63, is charged in Nevada’s Clark County with a single count of murder using a deadly weapon. He has pleaded not guilty. Davis is accused of leading a group of men to kill Shakur, 25, who was one of rap’s most commercially successful and influential artists, in retaliation for the beating of his nephew.

Police say they long suspected Davis but did not have enough evidence to charge him until he went public with his story in media appearances and a memoir, which, along with tapes of his secret meetings with investigators, make up most of the prosecution’s case.

Prosecutors with the Clark County District Attorney’s Office are likely to argue that Davis’ story is generally consistent and that he has essentially admitted to arranging Shakur’s killing, which under Nevada law is enough to be charged with murder.

Donald Trump ramped up his anti-Canada rhetoric on Sunday with a series of posts on his Truth Social platform.
