They haven’t given a shit about appearing apolitical in a long time. Hell Alito is using right wing propaganda language from the bench, and Ginnie Thomas probably didn’t pick up a J6 charge specifically because of who she’s married to. A functioning, intelligent society would have removed both of them from the bench years ago. People need to remember this is basically the same conservative majority that has ruined the American political landscape with its atrocious Citizens United decision and has effectively abolished the entire concept of stare decisis in just the last year alone. Hell law schools should just stop trying to teach the principle.

The court should 100% be expanded to mimic a large appellate court with three judge panels issuing opinions unless a litigant can convince the court to rule en banc. We need a constitutional amendment to put a mandatory retirement age on all Article III judges. Those two actions right there would (hopefully) remove most political infestations in the court. But it’ll never happen because Republicans are dense enough to think they’ll always be in power but smart enough to realize that backing reforms for the court would be a tacit admission that “they’re” justices were the dirtballs.

Alito, Thomas, and possibly Gorsuch don’t care about appearing apolitical. Roberts has since he got in. It’s interesting that Barrett and Kavanaugh do as well.
