I feel like it wasn't widely reported (or I was living under a rock for a deadline) but there was a guy who went to Kavanaugh's house with plans to assassinate him. About a year ago I think.

It is appropriate for Supreme Court justices to be protected from the possibility of physical attacks, and the suggestion that a wildly unpopular ruling will come down - but hasn't yet - would increase that possibility.

Don't get me wrong: this Court is awful in a "one for the history books" way, and has made obviously terrible and politically motivated rulings. And they should be protected from physical attack.

I mean, idiots attacking them they should be protected.

Congress has decades to codify this in law but left it to a court ruling precedent so both sides could turn it into an election point.
