McConnell and Cornyn say House version on SCOTUS security won’t pass Senate. House Ds have changed Senate bill to also include security for clerks and staff. “The security issue is related to the Supreme Court justices, not to nameless staff that no one knows," McConnell said

the justices can issue rulings that benefit the turtle and his enablers - the clerks and staff can't

Only a tiny fraction of people who work at the White House have any protection outside of work.

If you protect even a few Little People, then they'll want you to protect some more, and then some more than that, and so on and so on.

I wonder if this is retribution.

He doesn’t want any staffers protected is cause for pause.
