Opinion by The Washington Post Editorial Board: What Congress can do, right now, about Justice Thomas
There’s more.
In both cases, Congress has a legitimate legislative purpose in asking questions. If not immediately, at some point Congress might attempt to impose transparency, recusal and other rules on the court.
