CNN)Limping away from one of the most significant terms in decades, justices are sending out flares expressing concern not only for the future of the Supreme Court but the country as a whole as institutional norms dissolve, tensions rise, and the court pivots right with the addition of three new members.

The justices are mostly on their summer recess now, having left behind a trail of bitter conservative-liberal splits on issues that will reshape how Americans live their lives when it comes to reproductive health, religious liberty, the environment and gun rights.

In those opinions and in public comments, members on both sides of the ideological divide are expressing reservations not about their ability to interact civilly -- but about the court itself and its future.

On Thursday, Barrett suggested that the justices will continue to strive for civility. "It's like a marriage, we have life tenure so we get along and that means you are not going to rupture relationships with people that you are going to be spending your careers with," she said.



NO Amy..... can I call you Amy.....when someone sits in a chair and tells the senators and the American public that they will adhere to precedents.......and then turn right around once they get to sit on bench and overturn rights......that calls for a fucking divorce....
