when was the courts size fixed at nine justices?
1789
during chase's tenure, congress passed two laws setting the size of the supreme court, partly to prevent president johnson from appointing supreme court justices. the judicial circuits act of 1866 provided for the elimination of three seats (to take effect as sitting justices left the court), which would reduce the size of the court from ten justices to seven. catron died in 1865, and he had not been replaced when the judicial circuits act was passed, so his seat was abolished upon passage of the act. wayne died in 1867, leading to the abolition of his seat. however, congress passed the judiciary act of 1869, setting the size of the court at nine justices and creating a new seat. in 1870, president ulysses s. grant appointed william strong to replace grier, and joseph p. bradley to fill the newly created seat. bradley was nominated after the senate rejected grant's nomination of ebenezer r. hoar; the senate had also confirmed edwin stanton's nomination for the seat, but stanton died before taking office. nelson retired in 1872, and grant appointed ward hunt to succeed him.
