You’re wrong Alito, Congress can definitely make rules and laws to regulate you. They have the explicit authority to do that.
“The court can be trusted to self-regulate”
That’s bullshit. With your unethical bribes being accepted and the bullshit rulings you’ve been making have proven you’re an incompetent corrupt court.
It’s right on the courts’ info page
Although the Constitution establishes the Supreme Court, it permits Congress to decide how to organize it. Congress first exercised this power in the Judiciary Act of 1789. This Act created a Supreme Court with six justices.
That had to do with size of the court.
Constitution says it’s a lifetime appointment, though.
Can have all the rules you want, which the justices are free to ignore because the Constitution says it’s a lifetime seat.
You just have to be creative. Pass a law saying holding a Supreme Court seat for more than 20 years is a capital crime.
That would be unconstitutional and ruled that way, too. The law cannot take away a thing guaranteed by the Constitution (the lifetime appointment).
There would need to be an impeachment or amendment. Or court-packing.
It would be evil and unethical, yes, but not unconstitutional. They would still be justices right up until their execution, so it’s still a lifetime appointment.
It could still run up against tue 8th Amendment, more specifically the prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment.
Edit to add: being convicted of a capital crime does not guarantee a death sentence. Anything less than death still bumps into a Constitutional issue.
Coming and going, there’s a likely Constituional challenge. An amendment would almost be easier.
death penalty isn’t cruel or unusual. scotus said so themselves. they even said a punishment could be cruel as long as it isn’t unusual.
We the people made up the rules and we can change them in any way we want. If the supreme Court has some kind of magic that stops that they are free to deploy that but in the meantime we can assume that they are flesh bags like the rest of us.
He means absent a Constitutional amendment. And he’s correct.
Congress authority is limited to saying what type of cases the court can take and how many justices there are.
Constitution says they are lifetime appointments. Can’t really attach rules to that. Even if they break the rules, they are still lifetime appointments.
Only way out is death, retirement, or impeachment. I think only one justice was ever impeached.
I guess we could just just pass a law that any supreme court justice that sits on the bench after attaining the age of 80 will be summarily executed in celebration of their achievements.
Then when the alw is challenged to the court, the textualists can’t argue that it’s cruel and unusual punishment because it is infact a celebration.
Funny guy.
Liberals and mentally ill in shambles
You know everyone isn’t down voting you angrily right? they’re embarrassed and laughing at you, at your gullibility.
What makes you think I care
