Sure, decorum obliged the justices to pretend he wasn't there while they conducted their business.

But they also needed to be the first to do something-- namely, slap him around at least a little.

Remind him that he's only passing through. Stop trying to "brand" your way to consequential.

Remind him that he's making a big mess, about which he should feel shame.

And ask the Solicitor General who the authors were who composed that executive order. Get that in the record of the case.
