Democratic Lawmakers Slam Alito's Claim: Congress Can't Regulate Supreme Court

Democratic lawmakers are criticizing Justice Samuel Alito for stating that Congress has no constitutional authority to regulate the Supreme Court. Alito's comments come amid increased scrutiny over ethics concerns involving Supreme Court justices, including gifts accepted without disclosure. Democrats argue that Alito's view is audacious and arrogant, with some accusing conservative justices of seeing themselves as politicians. The Senate Judiciary Committee has approved legislation to impose a code of ethics on the Supreme Court, but its chances of passing in the Senate are slim. House Democrats also took to social media to criticize Alito, emphasizing that Congress has the power to regulate the Court.
