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.
