The U.S. Supreme Court is seeking $19.4 million in federal funds to
bolster security for the nine justices and assign protection of their
homes to its own police force rather than the U.S. Marshals Service,
citing "evolving" risks faced by the nation's top judicial body.

@jrpsaki: Why?
@gtconway3d: Because they were terrified.

Keeping the Justices safe

Sometimes, people in high places visualize a virtual reality about how
those lower on the totem pole might act. The threat has always
existed, but in recent years, the Drumpf's rhetoric has increased the
chances of a potential act of violence.

nation has become very polarized

Different factors are involved, but I believe the Rs are mostly
responsible. As some have said, Drumpf is the one making it so

respected judiciary

Their role is to be an adversary to one side. As such, as Rodney
Dangerfield would say, "No Respect." Longitudinally, I believe they
had few cases involving "we the people" directly until recent years.

Did Aretha Franklin get respect?

I think this is the root of the problem. As long as both sides believe
this about each other, there is no way forward.

Germany's Adolf Hitler and Italy's Benito Mussolini are two previous
examples where extreme rhetoric mobilizes their base/militants.

They say history repeats...nothing new under the sun.

What desperate man took her as his "equal partner"?

Unknown if that relationship exists, but if so, I suspect a
manipulative type person.

She didn't mentioned doing lawn service, washing a vehicle, flat tire
repair, etc., so many of those "equal" tasks were female related.

Have to find out about her childhood experiences...her mother may have
had her doing most all of the domestic chores.
