Recently, Justice Alito said “I know this is a controversial view, but I’m willing to say it. No provision in the Constitution gives them the authority to regulate the Supreme Court — period.”
I wonder if he would accept the same being said about the #SCOTUS’ authority to determine the meaning of the constitution. There is nothing in the constitution that gives SCOTUS the final word on its meaning. Yet, it dictates to the other two branches all the time. The hubris!
