Clarence Thomas will someday be hailed as one of the greatest Justices. I do disagree though that the Supremes pay for their own security regardless of wealth. 64 million mostly concentrated in the Roberts household is not all that much money by current DC standards. I have a good friend who grew up in Arlington. His father, a promising scientist with then state of the art equipment patents, died at a very young age, but his mother was a professional too, so they stayed. My friend and his sister sold the family home when his mother became incapacitated needing nursing home care much later for, as I recall $34 k. The house is still there and the last time I know of it was listed and the asking price was between 3 and 4 million! I know because my friend was amazed. That was long enough ago that it could have turned over two to four times or more. Perhaps not Georgetown or Alexandria, but still a very pricey neighborhood. As I recall near a Metro Station too.
DC was small town America in the fifties and sixties. One of my friend’s friend’s mother was the secretary to the head of the NSA.
I suspect that the only reason Zelensky is still alive is that the Russians prefer him to an honest, competent, well trained adversary. Hmmm… I hadn’t heard about the Castle!
Frankly, the Supreme Court Justices should not need security and haven’t until recently needed any sort of protection beyond anonymity. The left is trying to threaten them into submission and locals like the rat faced Senator, Schumer knows where they live and are leading the charge, fundamentally threatening our rights so in a way protecting them protects us.

Okay, then let zelensky pay for it, instead of buying island resorts, and historic english castles.
Yes, judge Thomas is the real deal

Completely agree
