Their willingness to listen to reason and step outside their bubble is limited, unless doing so lines up with their politics.

I certainly hope current SCOTUS justices have a solid grasp of history and what happened to the last SCOTUS justice who acted in a manner you're suggesting. And this is an institution that (also, as history would have it) does a pretty good job giving a wide berth to precedent.

Ooo, bad timing on that "wide berth to precedent" point. The new majority just threw out a 40 year old precedent today: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/13/us/politics/supreme-court...

Hilariously bad timing on my part, thanks for the link--I legitimately missed this story.
