Justice Samuel Alito said in an interview that Congress does not have the authority to regulate the Supreme Court, pushing back against Democratic efforts to mandate stronger ethics rules for the justices. Alito argued that the Constitution does not give Congress the power to regulate the Supreme Court. While Chief Justice John Roberts has also questioned Congress’s ability to act, he was not as definitive as Alito. Some Democrats rejected Alito’s reasoning, arguing that the Supreme Court should be subject to checks and balances. The ethics push comes after recent revelations about undisclosed trips and other ethics issues involving several Supreme Court justices.
That’s not true, it says the Supreme Court AND inferior courts
The constitution creates the supreme courts. The Congress can make inferior courts.
“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.”
Lemme cut the middle out of that sentence
The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.
Which is exactly what they do, they establish and ordain. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomination_and_confirmation_to_the_Supreme_Court_of_the_United_States
Right, but the comma separates the “Constitution creates the supreme court” and the “Inferiors courts that Congress may establish.” Cutting out the middle removes key text.
It seems pedantic, but that’s exactly the argument that either has been or will be made, because that comma implies that the Supreme Court and “inferior courts” have separate sources that govern them.
You’re ignoring that congress does, in fact, ordain supreme court justices
That’s very much wrong, you can’t read english.
Ahh. See how you said that?
That’s very wrong, AND you can’t read English.
It’s both things in the same sentence. Like how there’s a supreme court, and lower courts which congress can ordain.
Hey dumbass. They “ordain” supreme court justices when they question them and vote on them before they’re appointed.
If it’s so wrong, why doesn’t the president just appoint them and done? It’s because you are actually reading it wrong. Congress DOES ordain the supreme court’s members. They do it in public for all to see.
