I'm fairly sure they would need the house to expand the court and add more justices.
The House is not needed to appoint justices, but the size of the Supreme Court is set by federal law, and you need the House to change that law to go beyond nine justices.
Unfortunately the dems do not have a true majority in the senate either. It hasn't been as easy as we hoped to get everyone on the same page.
