My thought bubble: Hmmm. Alito resigns from SCOTUS just in time to be anointed Trump's running mate but too late for a replacement nomination to be vetted and confirmed. Trump will owe him, right?
We can be sure that Alito is plotting something. This may be it. His visions of grandeur may be to BE POTUS with full immunity, because maybe he can declare the accidental loading of the hamburder with a salting of something not meant to be eaten as his own "official act" as VP.
Define "too late"; if there was really a need, there are two candidates who have been thoroughly investigated and and would probably cheerfully take the job: Merrick Garland and Vice President Kamala Harris. Confirmation hearings would be interesting, especially for Harris, but there's not much doubt that either or both would be confirmed.
To stay in the fight one has to think like his/her enemies. I've watched the right wing since it bought into the strategies of Lee Atwater, Karl Rove, Bannon, Miller, arch foe Roger Stone, et. al. They all thrive on being dirty for the sake of dirtiness, a way to offend those they hate. They spend all their time gaming things out.
Alito is transparent - he is a soulless monster without any moral compass. In short, he is exactly like his Dear Leader.

Goodness gracious, we should keep an eye on you! Should you ever go over to the dark side, things could go terribly wrong (more terribly wrong)!

I see the "et al" Judith but, I think you lmay have eft out Roy Cohn & Heinrich Himmler.
