Julian Zelizer : Revelations about unethical conduct of Justices Thomas and Samuel Alito have sparked a judicial crisis.
Zelizer says Senate Democrats tried recently to pass legislation that would require the justices to establish a binding code of conduct.
Democrats hold the majority in the Senate , and Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin controls the committee that can investigate judicial corruption and use compulsory process to do so.
Julian Zelizer : Durbin is ceding the people’s democratic powers to an imperial court.
He says Congress has long set the parameters for the court's authority, dating back to the Judiciary Act of 1789 .
House Democrats are showing that they don’t need the majority to defend Congress ’ constitutional authorities, he says.
Zelizer says the court majority clamps down the levers of democratic pushback.
