The whole Supreme Court has a legitimate crisis

To the editor:

The United States Supreme Court has run amok, and it’s time to get it under control. 

For the last year, we have witnessed scandal after scandal come out of the Supreme Court. And in the last month alone we’ve seen multiple breaking news stories about Clarence Thomas’s unethical behavior. First, he was accepting luxury vacations and lavish gifts worth millions for 20 years, all undisclosed. Then, his mother’s home was bought and renovated. Now, it’s come to light that his grandnephew’s private school tuition was paid for years. All these payments came from megadonor Harlan Crow, who happens to be Republican. And there were no public disclosures.

Congress can and should act as a check on the Supreme Court.

Is the Supreme Court above accountability?

No judge should be unaccountable, and that includes our justices on the Supreme Court.
