Denigrating democratic institutions like the Supreme Court is harmful, although that criticism is a bit rich coming from Trump-aligned Republicans who've spent the last eight years denigrating every democratic institution they can think of.

The best way to protect the court's integrity is to create accountability for scofflaws like Thomas without fiddling with the court's independence. How about an ethics code similar to those in lower federal courts? The Supreme Court could self-impose that today and head off a lot of this criticism.

And big kudos to ProPublica for unearthing this story. Terrific investigative journalism.
