The U.S. Marshals Service is providing 'around-the-clock security' at the homes of all nine Supreme Court justices, the Department of Justice said.
"I want to be clear: while people vote, argue, and debate in a democracy, we must not – we cannot – allow violence or unlawful threats of violence to permeate our national life. The Justice Department will not tolerate violence or threats of violence against judges or any other public servants at work, home, or any other location," said Garland, who himself was once a nominee to the high court.
Garland was joined in Wednesday's meeting by USMS Director Ronald Davis, FBI Deputy Director Paul M. Abbate, U.S. Supreme Court Marshal Gail Curley, Supreme Court Police Chief Paul Coleman, and Counselor to the Chief Justice Jeff Minear, according to the DOJ.. Roberts noted that the first draft, penned by conservative Justice Samuel Alito and reportedly circulated in February, does not represent a final decision in the case.
A final opinion in the abortion case is expected to come out close to the end of the court's term in late June or early July.
