She’s at a giant lawyer mill since the beginning of summer, so she doesn’t know (or won’t tell me).
The two lesbos and Ginsburg are a given.
She does know that Justice Ginsberg’s mezzuzah (on her office door) is empty because she heard that and looked to see if there was a scroll inside.

Suppose for a moment that in their initial vote, homosexual marriage lost 5-4. If these 2 kicked themselves off with planned outrageous behavior that 5 would still stand, and it would be known that the 5-2 was still 5-4.
Would there be an advantage to such behavior?
However, what if the vote were 4-5 and homosexual marriage won. Getting 2 judges kicked off the case would be a 4-3 win for marriage and would generate a firestorm for years.
Let’s say, though, that a judge was torn, and it was a 4.5-4.5 vote based on something technical to him like ripeness or state’s rights.
Would they plan a scheme that would bring the case back to the court within a few years to see if they could more easily ram it through? Are they that Machiavellian?
Or am I a conspiracy theorist? :>)
