Will Any Of The Dissenting Justices Have The Courage To Resign?

A Duty To Resign

If I had been any of the dissenting U.S. Supreme Court justices, i.e. Samuel Alito, Antonin Scalia, or Clarence Thomas, I would now resign immediately from the court in protest. There comes a time when it is an obligation to resign if disagreement becomes unbearable and if the U.S. Constitution, or more importantly the Declaration of Independence, is at stake.

This would be a novelty in U.S. history  and this act would perhaps be seen as a national clarion call.

I am afraid none of the above Justices will do it out of a misunderstanding of their role, sense of duty, cannot quit attitude, the show must go on attitude etc.

Lack Of Quorum

I would presume that if two or more of the Supremes resign at about the same time, the U.S. Supreme Court would lack the quorum to continue its usual business.
