"[Alito] says Congress has no authority to regulate the Supreme Court. The Constitution he allegedly reveres says otherwise. A lot. …

Wrong on the facts, wrong on the history, on the wrong side of honesty and ethical standards, Justice Alito and his colleagues need to be reined in."

The New RepublicSamuel Alito Is Wrong and Arrogant—and Must Be Reined InThe associate justice says Congress has no authority to regulate the Supreme Court. The Constitution he allegedly reveres says otherwise. A lot.

Impervious to oversight. Ethically adrift.

Ill fares the land.

@wdlindsy So, wait-

If Congress has no authority over SCOTUS, & the executive branch must remain apart judicial affairs, and SCOTUS regulates the Judicial Branch & not the other way around; then does SCOTUS just get to make up its own rules, or not even bother with rules & just do whatever TF it wants?
