It was interesting and Rachel did ask about that and showed a picture that may have had implications of a couple of disgruntled justices waiting prior to the inauguration ceremony but SDO quashed that notion and claimed that they were simply bored and the image did not reflect their reflecting on the decision that made W resident. She also said that they had no emotive investment in the case itself even after seeing how many people were protesting at the parade and ceremony. I was kind of surprised by that part, given it was that group who decided the presidency, and wrongly, and knew that there was a vast majority who opposed the decision. One would have thought that a player in that instance might have, in hindsight, had some remorse after all that has happened.

In fact, the fmr justice was rather unimpressive and seemed to be dispassionate about all of her decisions, or so she claimed. She seemed to be throwing a wet blanket on the idea that any of the justices pay attention to public opinion or "drama" over any case they agree to resolve. I was kind of surprised by her stance but perhaps she sees it that way and was not willing to opine about her fmr colleagues. Rachel seemed disappointed by the end of it. SDO seemed to be averse to getting into that conversation even if it was not what she really feels is the reality of our currently activist SC. I have seen her make more interesting comments about such things in the past (don't ask me to cite them as I can't recall exactly what and when but it seems that I had seen her speak out, as it were, in the past).

That's my take on it... you might still want to watch it though.
