We'd face reality faster if so many Senators weren't geriatric, but you have Senators like mine (DiFi) whose deteriorating neurons play in a bygone fantasyland of bipartisan comity.

Mathematically, the Court isn't in that bad of condition. It just needs a fourth liberal judge and Roberts to play the swing vote.
As to quality/stridency of the ideologues, well, that's different. Alito is a crypto-fascist. Gorsuch seems fine, however. I know little about Kavanaugh, but he is technically qualified. I know nothing about Barrett, but her loony religious views render her unqualified IMO.
