He's not resigning unless there's a Republican president + Senate to replace him; all we can do is hope that that doesn't happen until he dies of natural causes. (and that the Democrats triumph in the election after that, so we don't end up with a Scalia->Garland->Gorsuch situation again)

Is there a good article anywhere that directly draws the line between cases he has seen and perks he has been given? I know that he should have to declare all of the trips, etc, and that that is a big problem. But I am interested in how he has directly damaged democracy in more obvious quid pro quo. I am especially interested in having an answer to anyone that tries to minimize what he has done.
I mean look up every case the heritage foundation has brought to the supreme court.
He'll just ignore the calls and life will continue.
He won't resign, he's gonna wait until the next election.
He won't resign until he's dead. He's not the brightest bulb in the box, but I'm sure he's realized by now that the second he's off the bench, Harlan Crow will tell him to get his n- ass out of his house.
He will NEVER resign. No matter what.
