Justice Clarence Thomas urged the Supreme Court to re-examine a 1960s-era ruling. Other justices rarely push as hard to overturn long-running 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 draws 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.
