See more of @JanCBS’ interview with Justice Alito Monday on @CBSNews
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito said increasingly harsh criticism of the court from political leaders can be "quite damaging" to the institution. "The criticism of the court by President Biden and justices by President Biden and his administration was very harsh. And President Trump has been very harsh," he told CBS News' @JanCBS. Alito said the court's job is to interpret the Constitution "as best we can" and apply it to the cases that come before them: "We are not part of any political movement. And we are not attempting to further any political agenda."

THUNE, returning for the Senate’s final vote before the midterms, tells me he thinks the GOP has done enough to keep the Senate. “We’ve got a great argument,” he said. “It's a tough environment out there, but good candidates, well resourced, stay on message, get the vote out.”

So I was just watching Fox News and this commercial played during Jesse Watters show. It says “Paid for by the US Government.” This is clearly a campaign ad. And the singers are just singing over and over again, “Love me” - over images of Trump. @CBSMiami @CBSNews
