I have seen others make the point that once those three appointees got their seats on the bench, there was nothing more he could do for or to them. So they could afford to do the right thing on this front without immediate, direct consequence.
From a wise friend: So, just so I understand what the Alito/Thomas blurb is about, SCOTUS is effectively saying “get the eff off my lawn” while Alito/Thomas are like “you’re welcome to ring the doorbell but no way are we opening the door to you weirdos?” EXACTLY
