Sen. Lindsey Graham said Congress should"stay out" of the Supreme Court’s business at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Thursday, addressing justices’ relationships with wealthy donors and accepting undisclosed gifts.

Graham pointed to the number of high-profile cases of justices accepting luxury gifts and taking expensive trips with donors, that have come to light recently.
