1. What's the context here?

Was she trolling him?

Clearly he admits to a religious bias. Is that contrary to what he said under oath during confirmation hearings? Impeachable? What if a justice with a life-long appointment has a religious (or any, really) conversion while in office, such that he cannot plausibly rule impartially? Who does anything about it?

2. Only 3 ways a SCOTUS Justice vacates their seat

Impeachment and conviction, resignation/retirement, and death. Doesn't matter what they did before, during, or after their confirmation hearings. Once they are confirmed then they can only be removed in one of those 3 ways.

4. Ok,thanks

His comments were recorded by Lauren Windsor, a liberal documentary filmmaker. Windsor attended the dinner as a dues-paying member of the society under her real name, along with a colleague. She asked questions of the justice as though she were a religious conservative.

5. Doesn't sound like calling balls and strikes to me

Sounds more like his decision is determined by the outcome he wants.
