Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries denounced Alito for “sympathizing with right-wing violent insurrectionists,” demanded his recusal, and called for prompt passage of ethics reform.
Dick Durbin, chair of Senate Judiciary Committee, has dawdled long enough. He should put on the floor a mandatory ethics reform bill, which should include at least an inspector general for the court, if not court expansion, and term limits.

@Kozmo except, that sort of thing violates the notion that we have an independent judiciary.
You can't both have an independent court and a Congress with such power over it. The two are contradictory.
We already have a solution here: impeachment. It is the one and only way to address such a situation, should it be warranted.
Of course, in this case Jeffries just comes across sounding like a partisan, an extremist stirring the pot for political points.
