Was Anthony Kennedy in robe alongside SCOTUS in appearance at speech? I couldn’t tell who it was but him and he was applauding at points whereas sitting members of the court do not (typically)

"Chief Justice John Roberts hates attending presidential addresses, where judicial decorum requires that judges maintain an impartial equanimity amid a partisan free-for-all. "To the extent the State of the Union has degenerated into a political pep rally," he once said, "I'm not sure why we're there."

But he is here tonight, accompanied by Justices Elena Kagan, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett, along with retired Justice Anthony Kennedy. Litigation is mushrooming over Trump’s campaign to remake the federal government, some of which has already reached the high court."

He’s retired now so maybe he no longer has to appear impartial. He looks good for 88 years old.
