To the best if my knowledge, this depends on what changes to the current system are being made. Adding seats is a simple law passed by congress because the constitution doesn't mandate the number of justices. Changing the appointment mode would most likely require a constitutional amendment, because the constitution itsself says the justices are appointed by the prez and confirmed by the senate. Ergo, what means, the latter is DOA.
