Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has called on the U.S. Supreme Court to reconsider a 1977 precedent that allows advocacy groups, trade associations, and other organizations to bring court challenges to government policies on behalf of their members. On Thursday, the conservative justice argued that the 47-year-old ruling poses 'constitutional concerns' and 'serious problems.' He described the court's decision in 1977 as 'mistaken' and suggested that it should be revisited.
