The other thing is how often do you ever see current-day photos of the SCOTUS justices?  When is the last time you saw a current-day photo of Kagan or Breyer?  I think to believe that something is amok is to believe that Gorsuch, Alito, Thomas and Kavanaugh would willingly go along with the charade.  As much as I wish the old hag would take a dirt nap, I think it's ridiculous to believe she's dead and all the conservative justices are playing along.
