That he has a choice between sitting and standing shows that willfulness on the part of angels is possible. The question then devolves to "at what point does the ability to chose become meaningful." I have heard from many rabbanim that the lack of free stems from an overwhelming knowledge of right and wrong, not an incapacity to choose. In other words, they lack "free," not the "will." That doesn't preclude situations like the Ohr Hachaim below in which they sin bishogeg. | |
