. . . civil?
Thomas?
At the least, the ambition of these two is to deny average Americans the protection of judiciary; to the deliberate benefit of a lopsidedly wealthy 1% or so in this nation. Neither they, nor you, can pretty up the fight against all of that hostility and real-world injury (within and without the Court) by pointing to these lawyers being polite to each other.
Besides, a dissent like the one Justice Ginsberg wrote against the Robert Court's evisceration of the Chapter 4 protections under the Civil Rights Act does, indeed, 'call-out' Roberts and others blatant attempt to block the emerging minority vote from having a decisive effect on elections.

I do believe that the Supreme Court is one more reason that Elizabeth Warren needs to run in 2016!
