New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy on Sunday poured cold water on demands from Democrats and liberal activists that Congress alter the Supreme Court after a string of setbacks at the hands of the court’s conservative majority.
“As painful as this radical court has been taking away rights and freedoms, I’m in the camp that you play within the rules,” Mr. Murphy, a Democrat, told NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “And I have to say, that’s a tough conclusion, given the extremity of whether it’s LGBTQ decisions, abortion, student loans, affirmative action — one gut punch after another. I think you still play within the rules.”
Senate Democrats next week will begin considering legislation to institute ethics rules for the justices in response to conflicts of interest accusations over conservative members receiving lavish gifts from wealthy Republican donors.
