SOTU is over. All quiet on the Russian front.
May as well have Mueller release his findings and then declassify the FISA warrant.
We've waited patiently in the lobby munching our popcorn. Put the reel on the projector and start the movie, please and thank you.
I wish you were right, but it appears not to be the case…

Thanks for the A2A!
The original question is “Do the Justices of the Supreme Court receive protection from the Secret Service?”
The short answer is no.
And unlike most members of the federal judiciary, they do not receive protection from the United States Marshals Service either.
Their protection is provided by the Supreme Court Police, one of the smallest federal agencies.
The Supreme Court Police is lead by the Marshal of the United States Supreme Court. The duties of the Marshal are similar to the court officer aspects of the United States Marshal in any of the 94 United States judicial court districts. This said, This Marshal has no association with the United States Marshals Service. In the history of the position (created in 1867), there have been ten Marshals. By statute, the Marshal is appointed by the Supreme Court and serves at their discretion.
The force itself, currently numbering about 125, is responsible for security of the court building, its inhabitants, and it visitors. Additionally, they provide personal protection to the Justices at all times. In many ways, their mission, training, and authority is similar to that of the judicial security role of the United States Marshals Service. I would fully expect that a large number of the members of this force have been cross-deputized by the Marshals Service to increase their authority and jurisdiction.
