Alito warns Congress can ‘turn off the lights’ at Supreme Court
Justice Samuel Alito, returning to the Federalist Society's annual Scalia Memorial Dinner a week after Democrats swept Congress, warned that Congress can "turn off the lights at the Supreme Court" and told more than 1,000 conservative lawyers the judiciary is "vulnerable" as the least powerful branch. He also called preserving judicial independence vital and chastised lower judges for "unjustified" orders blocking presidents' policies.
