If she misses the arguments, can she still weigh in on a decision?

‘If she misses the arguments, can she still weigh in on a decision?”

Bloomberg is reporting that she’ll be getting transcripts of the arguments she’s missing. Sounds like the answer to your question is, yes.

She missed weighing in on the last decision, but that didn't stop "her" from weighing in on the last decision.

Remember a rat is rat. An ethical jurist would not rule on a case in which they were not present. But Ras never recuse and Rats never resign. The cause is all that matters. She will vote, in fact she would vote on this case right now as all the rats would and l don’t even know what the case is. The merits are meaningless. All that matters is the cause.

Probably not, but I am not an expert.

Technically, no, she may not. Just as Kavanaugh may not rule on cases he was not seated for that were heard after Kennedy resigned.

I don’t think she knows that she’s there even when she is there.

IINM, it is the rule that where a justice misses oral argument in a particular case s/he has no part/role in the Court’s decision in that case.
