The 3 justices who skipped the inauguration did so because of their advanced age and susceptibility to covid, not so much for political reasons. Breyer in particular has no other reason to skip. So the whole thread seems to be based on a false premise.

Alito is 70yrs old and younger than Mitch McConnell and two former Presidents that were there, and Biden of course too.
Considering how mask wearing was prevalent and part of the protocol, I believe covid was a convenient excuse for some not to attend, so nope covid doesn't invalidate anything here. It likely wasn't critical for Alito and likely Kavanaugh to attend either.
Given that the Democrats (with Kamala Harris in the Senate at the time) seemed to have personally wronged Kavanaugh from his confirmation, it was just interesting to see him there.
For the record, I'm not against Kavanaugh being there and kind of wish the Democrats or Kamala Harris in particular would extend an olive branch to him somehow, given that a lot of the Democrat/Republican division the last four years was triggered with that confirmation hearing, which wasn't even about Trump for the moment.
Stop being disingenuous and using left leaning fake “fact checkers” to prove your point. It’s not fooling anyone.
Harris said she believed the women who accused Biden. The women firmly stated that Biden raped and sexually assaulted them. So what should we take from that? That Biden is a rapist.
As far as the bussing, she rightly accused Biden of opposing bussing and working with segregationists. So what should we take from that? That Biden is a racist.
That’s not what she said.
Some women accused Biden of inappropriate touching. All anyone has to do is watch hundreds of videos of Biden over the years, hugging, touching arms, smelling hair, etc to believe these women. Biden responded he was making human connections. Harris said she believed Biden’s actions made his accuser’s uncomfortable.
My own experience with men of the Biden and Trump generation +/-, demonstrated they never considered how their behaviors, touching, hugging, air and real kissing etc , made the recipient’s feel. That some women enjoyed the attention or ignored it does not mean all did.
Then came the accusation of rape.Harris said the accuser has a right to tell her story which is not the same thing as believing the story.

Sorry, but that is not right at all. Harris was specifically talking about Tara Reade. She was not talking about Biden’s creepy and inappropriate behavior on stages over the last 5 decades. She specifically implied that he was a rapist, not someone who just smelled hair and touched arms.
Look, I get it, you are indoctrinated with leftist ideals so it makes you unable to practice objectivity. But realize that just about everyone on the other side can see through your blind spot on this issue.

I am not buying it. They and all of Congress were allowed to cut the line and had opportunity to be vaccinated before the general public, most healthcare professionals and nursing home residents. Most who did so rationalized it as setting an example.
It is likely those on the stages/ platforms were among the least likely to transmute or become infected with Covid. Nonetheless, they masked up.
I do respect it is possible these justices chose to not be vaccinated or understand this vaccine, like any, is not 100% effective, especially if they have other health challenges.

Hope getting that off your chest makes you feel better.
BTW, I voted for Trump, twice. That does not mean I drank the kool- aid or consider myself a part of his base.
I am politically agnostic and don’t view life through a political lens.
