US Supreme justices are appointed for life, the only "face" they have to lose realistically is their legacy reputation, how they are seen by future generations. They are not really vulnerable to populist attacks of hypocrisy or flip-flopping or whatever.

They are humans that have to live in society just like the rest of us. No one is completely invulnerable to society. I imagine being the target of some of these radical abortion groups (anti or pro) would be scary, especially for officials that are normally not in the limelight.

These are federal supreme court justices that rule on often (by the nature of the cases they receive) controversial topics constantly. It's not a position you take if you value privacy.

I'm sure now it's especially dangerous, but I don't think this is a novel factor in their life at this point.

Tell me more about these radical pro-abortion groups of which you speak. I’d really love to know if there’s an equivalent to the violent murderers on the right wing.

Last estimate I'd heard of abortions since Roe v. Wade is 60 million. I haven't a clue how accurate it is, but let's use it as an example.

Pro-life / anti-abortion people believe that a fetus is a unique human life; from their perspective, that's 60 million murders committed against the unborn.

Of course, for any who do not think a fetus is a living human, it is a hollow argument.

That’s incredibly unrealistic in this case. All the conservatives could die satisified the day after this decision is final. They’d have served their ultimate purpose to the cause to which they dedicated their entire lives. This is the one thing they were put on the court to do.

No we still need them to overturn some of the ridiculous gun laws in places like NYC.
