They're called "Justices" for a reason
Town Hall ^ | 05/21/2010 | Roger E. Skoff

In 1780, in the Massachusetts Bill of Rights, John Adams penned the phrase "...a government of laws and not of men." This was as part of Article XXX -- a statement of the absolute separation of the powers of government so that those who made the laws could neither execute nor adjudicate them, and that similar restrictions would be placed on both the executive department and the judiciary. Even while this was being written, Massachusetts and the other American colonies were fighting a bloody war of independence from England, a country where no such separation of powers existed, and the king, despite the limits forced upon him.......

They used to be mostly justices. Now cases are not decided according to law, but according to political correctness.

Therefore they may be called,

"Correcticusses of the Surpeme Court", (not Justices).

Their extra-constitutional job is to pronouce and define the political correctness of the president, rather than follow the constitution. To do this effectively they must memorize Lewis Carol's " Alice in Wonderland" in its entirety, and be intimately familiar with the Chesire Cat, The Mad Hatter, and the Queen of Hearts principles, as well as many others.

Here is a great compilation of links on Kagan. She is no friend of the 1st Amendment.
