Justice Clarence Thomas called for the Supreme Court to re-examine a 1960s-era ruling. Few peers push as hard to overturn settled legal decisions. Right-leaning outlets praised his call for a strict reading of the Constitution. Opponents argue he shapes Court rulings more than any other justice and faces ongoing controversies about him. A recent order blocked a former president from firing a Federal Reserve official. The decision demonstrates the Court keeps a tight rein on how much power presidents hold over independent agencies.
