They don't have to work much, anyhow. Just show up in their offices when they feel like it to fiddle around shuffling papers.....or to totter to their seats on the banc when the Court is sitting.
Their law clerks, aides and well-paid flunkies do all the office tasks, all the complicated legal research and, undoubtedly, most of the final required, tedious, difficult writing of lines of questioning, opinions and decisions.
Why SHOULD these pampered old croaks retire at home with their cushy pensions....life is one cushion after another for them in their Courthouse itself.
Retired at home, they'd have to put on their own (bath)robes every morning and watch CNN all day.

You could be saying this about Congress-persons also - more or less.
We've been away at a resort near Disney for a week... a lot of catching up today.
I told my son that now that the Democ🐀s have won this race they will go bonkers to finish off Prez Trump any way possible - with the help of their immense yellow journalism helpers. Plus: Meuller is finding himself in deepening waters... time may be running short for him to complete his mission. This invasion of transition team emails is going to raise the stakes a bunch.
Still, sometimes I fancy the LORD is interfering for the good side. 😉
