‘Turn off the lights’: Alito admits Congress can effectively shut down the Supreme Court
Raw Story reports on Justice Samuel Alito's remarks at the Federalist Society's annual Antonin Scalia Memorial Dinner, where he told more than 1,000 conservative lawyers that Congress can defund the Supreme Court and "turn off the lights" to stop everything from happening. He also warned that eliminating judicial independence would change the Constitution of 1789, and urged preserving the judiciary's independence.
