Congressional Dems pile on Alito after he says SCOTUS ethics can’t be regulated ( www.politico.com )

Well, here’s the problem. Alito is correct, that Congress can’t impose “ethics rules” on the court.

The sole remedy given to the people is impeachment, and Bribery is explicitly listed as a valid basis for impeachment under Article 1.

We would never get an impeachment through the Senate, of course.

There is a second remedy: constitutional amendment. Not sure exactly who should be watching the watchers if it’s not Congress. But we can assign someone to do so.

Maybe a supermajority of district court judges should rule on issues involving SCOTUS justices.
