It was also a little unsettling to see him being so jovial with Breyer and Sotomayor during the recent SCOTUS photo shoot.

Of course they can get along personally. This is the real world, not an internet forum.

These Justices have a lot more in common than may separate them ideologically.

Don't forget, Scalia and RBG were besties.

Points well taken. I do realize that Scalia and RBG were quite chummy and she even went hunting with him, IIRC.

The fact that they do get along well personally really should be expected. SCOTUS is highly exclusive and extremely cloistered. The justices likely bond intuitively and share their obvious love of the law. It’s simply talking shop, if you will.
