    Close, but they didn’t even claim to investigate themselves. They just created a document of theoretical standards they pinky swear they will follow in the future but that they claim no one has the power to actually judge them by.

    Anyways they’re wrong, congress has the power to regulate the supreme court, including removing justices. Good luck finding a 2/3rd vote for that though.

      Psh, SCOTUS has already determined that the Congress does not have the power. Clearly, when the framers of the Constitution wrote in all those clauses about oversight, the framers didn’t actual mean that. /s

        “I have decided that Marbury v Madison is no longer binding precedent, and therefore SCOTUS has no constitutionally-derived right of judicial review.”

        President could do this. In fact, I’ll bet $100 in a GOP president doing this in the next 20 years.

          SCOTUS only has power because we chose to believe that SCOTUS has powers. The only real branch that enforce the law is the Executive branch and that’s only because they have the Police and the Military on their side.
