What we've learned from the Harlan Crow - Clarence Thomas revelations is that there is corruption in the US Supreme Court, it has existed for decades, and the nine justices are unwilling, or unable, to take steps to eliminate it.

@ReneeVoiceBrand Checks and balances refers to the relationship between the branches of government. Impeachment and removal of a justice (or justices) would be an example, as would criminal prosecution of sitting justices. But it's inefficient and, in times of hyperpartisanship, unlikely to work.
@JFitzgerald Who's going to tell Kevin McCarthy?

We've learned the house, while under republican control, will not even open an investigation into what appears to be obvious corruption.
@Coctaanatis So....the idea of 'Checks and Balances' is a farce?????
