“They (SCOTUS) don’t actually have cops on hand who can go around ensuring compliance with their orders.”

Actually, they do have their own police force.

This surprised me.
Why the fuck do they need a separate police department?
@feloneouscat: My immediate thought is that it's because they are the top of the Judicial Branch. The tops of the other two Branches have their own.
(I just looked it up, and yes, that seems to be the case. That said, it doesn't read as if they go around enforcing SCOTUS decisions.)
Somewhat amusing that “diversity and inclusion” (even though only a quarter are women) is on the site.
How long before it’s white men only?
@feloneouscat: I dunno. I reckon one would need to have a look at applicants and analyze the process of each through the system. Maybe they just don't want to hire many women, or maybe not many women apply or make it through. I really don't know, not being privy to such information, one being particularly that I don't figure I could ever get a security clearance.
