Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez accused U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito of throwing a 'tantrum' in his written dissent to Friday night's ruling over the abortion medication mifepristone and said the Court's right-wing majority has become an ideological political force that must be checked by the two other branches of government.
"In our system of checks and balances, SCOTUS’s reckless behavior warrants a check from the legislative and executive branches," said the New York Democrat. "This is not unprecedented, it's how our system is designed to avert tyranny."
