Several social media posts say Alito is ill.

None has citations. One said she has a friend attending the SC proceedings today and that was her source. Will keep watching for better info.

A story briefly appeared on Yahoo News that she had been recorded in her chambers saying some things about how she was going to do things her way and it didn't matter what the law said. The story was taken down very quickly but two of her clerks quit around that time and that is a rarity, to have two quit. Even one quitting is a rarity. Just found this out in the last couple days.

Why Did Two of Judge Aileen Cannon’s Law Clerks Suddenly Quit?

Trump has another four years to completely devastate the high court, which we'll be stuck with after he is gone.

And if Dems take the Senate, then only a little over one year, because of the McConnell/Obama "rule," i.e., can't appoint someone in an election year, or some such excuse....
