Washington (CNN)The Democratic National Committee is suing the Republican National Committee for aiding GOP nominee Donald Trump as he argues that the presidential election is "rigged," claiming that Trump's argument is designed to suppress the vote in minority communities.

The suit, filed Wednesday in US District Court in New Jersey, argues that the RNC has not sufficiently rebuked Trump for the line of attack, which he has used as a rallying cry and is assumed to be a way to explain away a potential loss on Election Day.

“Not only can Congress overturn or modify judicial decisions”

Wrong.

There is no constitutional or legal basis for that. They can defy a ruling (like anyone else could - illegally, and unconstitutionally, but probably beyond enforcement), or they could pass a new to be in force until the court strikes it down as well (as legislatures areas like D.C have done repeatedly to enforce unconstitutional gun control measures).

Congress can’t just declare someone innocent who is found guilty by a court - they cannot modify or overturn court decisions like some kind of veto power. The closest thing would be to pass a new law on the topic (which would itself be subject to court review).
