SCOTUS:
Samuel Alito tells Congress to stay out of Supreme Court ethics controversy
Congress should stay out of the Supreme Court’s business and stop trying to impose ethics rules on justices and clerks, Justice Samuel Alito said in an interview published by The Wall Street Journal editorial page Friday.
“Congress did not create the Supreme Court,” 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.”

Federal Judge Dismisses Fringe Challenge to California Mail-in Voting Rules
The plaintiffs alleged that California Assembly Bill 860, Assembly Bill 37, Senate Bill 503, Senate Bill 397, Senate Bill 450 and several sections of the California Code of Regulations that pertain to elections are unconstitutional. The plaintiffs alleged that the defendants violated the Equal Protection and Due Process Clauses of the 14th Amendment by implementing laws and procedures that “diminish the value of in-person voters.”
In a victory for California voters, the case was dismissed after the judge found that the plaintiffs did not show that these laws place a burden on their right to vote and that the plaintiffs’ vote dilution claims “based on potential or actual voter fraud are noncognizable.” The judge explained that the plaintiffs challenged California’s election laws “to show election irregularities,” but concluded that “these laws and regulations do not burden Plaintiffs’ right to vote. The laws expand access to the ballot. Therefore, these allegations do not support either an equal protection violation or a due process violation.”
Finally, the judge concluded that: “For the reasons explained above, any amendment to the complaint would be futile. Plaintiffs have not demonstrated differential treatment and have not alleged facts that support constitutional claims,” thereby dismissing the lawsuit and preventing the plaintiffs from filing a new complaint.
