Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said on Sunday that Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was “stunningly wrong” when he told The Wall Street Journal that Congress did not have the authority to regulate the Supreme Court.
“First of all, it’s just stunningly wrong. And he should know that more than anyone else because his seat on the Supreme Court exists only because of an act passed by Congress. It is Congress that establishes the number of justices on the Supreme Court. It is Congress that has passed in the past requirements for justices to disclose certain information,” Mr. Murphy said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
