Eight Associate Justices join the Chief Justice on the Supreme Court.
The number of Supreme Court Justices is not set by the US Constitution. Article III, Section 1 simply states: "<span>The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish."

Prior to that, there were at times as few as six Supreme Court Justices.</span>
