Not surprising. But certainly “inadvisable”

@grumble209 I doubt the dynamic you describe applies to the folks who have a lifetime appointment as gods among mortals.

@WarnerCrocker There are sometimes coworkers so toxic that a team refuses to work with them. Sometimes that leads to management removing the problem, or sometimes it leads to people resigning and leaving.
Is Alito's behavior toxic enough to make other justices leave or refuse to work with him? Dissenting opinions are ultimately pointless.
Maybe the other justices stay in a bad court out of a sense of duty. Maybe they stay out of complicity.

@LexiGirl Sadly, nothing is the correct answer.

@WarnerCrocker but what are the repercussions of this? Nothing.

@grumble209 They’re the ones who think of themselves that way. The rest of the US is somehow just waking up to that hole in our founding documents.

@WarnerCrocker Hardly gods among mortals - they bicker and snark with their neighbors over bullshit just like in any booshie suburb, apparently. If they need the income, they have more lucrative options.
They wake up in the morning and decide to go to work for some other reason. If their coworker is a flaming asshole, they might decide that there are more pleasant ways to spend their golden years besides dealing with the man's bullshit.
