I wouldn't care to speculate what inducements or threats might be available or necessary.

If it does happen it might be a great day to have been a clerk for Thomas, and who he liked, and is now in their late 40s to mid 50s...

That’s incentive but not pressure. These people think they’re demigods or more. Their kids will be rich, that’s not a motivator.

Claiming to be an originalist should basically be a disqualifying factor.
If the founding fathers came back today, they'd be horrified that we have women and black people on the Supreme Court. It's a term that lets you rule however you want while claiming no one should be able to disagree.

Conservatives aren't originalists any more, they felt comfortable saying it was all a pretense once they seized generational control of the courts. Adrian Vermule wrote an essay about their new "common good" theory of jurisprudence.

The Common Good will somehow always magically favor the clients of the NoJoe V10 L&E lawyers that post here.

So did Scalia. So does Alito. It is clear that it was just a branding exercise that only meant no Substantive Due Process.

Edit: Thomas probably actually is one

Wow one of the older lawyers at the place I'm working for got really pissed when I casually mentioned that republicans would appoint someone who would advance their policy goals to SCOTUS, he was the one that brought up the subject too so it's not like I was idly chatting on work time. Borderline screamed at me that I didn't understand that judiciary and judicial philosophy (something about originalism) if I thought that justices were just "politicians in robes". Is this (the supreme court being impartial) really like a sacrosanct belief or shibboleth among lawyers?

Because uhh, there is more than a little research showing that it isn't true.
