So they don't want the public to have details regarding their security processes. Why is it in the public interest to know when the shift change is for the guards at the supreme court?
It's just a side channel signal that they are self-aware of making unpopular decisions?
Alito was on the phone with Trump just one day before he ruled on his case. That is never ever supposed to happen and probably never has before. It doesn't get any more corrupt than that.

The Trump / MAGA / right-wing takeover of America is a thing I never would have wished even on my enemies.

Or that they're aware that there are threats against their safety.
The Supreme Court has long made unpopular opinions, but it’s recently lost the impression of impartiality. These things are inherently linked.

How can the public verify that security is sufficiently without holes if the public doesn't have access to details? How can the public verify that their taxes, which paid for that security, are well-spent?
While I don't personally believe all security details should be publicly available, I do think the details should be made available after-the-fact via FOIA. Eg, "what were security details on suchandsuch date", with say a 3-month minimum past-time limit. Of course, it can be difficult to learn from problems 3 months ago, but that difficulty must be balanced with "oh crap there's a problem we have to quietly fix before someone's hurt"
So the US Supreme Court is corrupt, well why not join the rest of the US Gov. in getting "gifts and tips".
The liberal justices sitting now are leaders in corruption, so it's not exclusive to people whose decisions we don't like.
What makes me livid is a number of these Trump appointees lied in to congress when they said "Roe was settled law" (It's a precedent, ... "settled" here meaning "why change it, it's the law of the land") only to waste no time in unsettling it. The Trump / MAGA / right-wing takeover of America is a thing I never would have wished even on my enemies.
