Alito Slams Democrats for Tampering with SCOTUS
Timothy Birdnow
While I admire Alito and his purposes here I'm not sure he's correct; the Constitution did not define the power and scope of the Supreme Court. The Court gave itself the power of judicial review for the Constituionality of laws, for instance, in Marbury V. Madison. Alito is right; Congress didn't create SCOTUS and in that regard has no right to interfere with the workings of the Court, but they have a right to pressure SCOTUS and perhaps reduce funding for the Court if they see fit.

The Supreme Court was created by the Constitution, not by Congress. Under the Constitution, we exercise the judicial power of the United States. Congress has no right to interfere with that work any more than we have the right to legislate."
