Another American institution under attack. Or now being put on note that it will be kept in check, watched. As Clarence Thomas sees no reason recluse himself on cases with his wife's entanglements, and there is no other check or balance in these highly polarized times, the Court may need to be reminded they are not gods, and do not live in a vacuum. This is a shot across the bow, if their insularity be the casualty so be it.

This is a shot across the bow, if their insularity be the casualty so be it. Great article a month or two ago in Sunday NY Times on Clarence and Ginni Thomas. If you disliked them before, you'll really abhor them by the end of the article. www.nytimes.com/2022/02/22/magazine/clarence-thomas-ginni-thomas.html

I don't really understand if it is SCOTUS that decides a law is up for re-writing or otherwise changed. Who does this? Can they even do this on their own initiative?

They can define what is un/acceptable, il/legal and send it back down for other courts or Congress to refine, define. It may also come back to them from another angle they may open up by what they find/define/refine. It's a process.

(Please note, Mr. Parsons as you are British you might not know that Bubba is usually a white male term of endearment, unless used by an outsider, like me.) I'm not a Brit, bub.
