The weirdest thing about that whole SCOTUS security bill was that the Senate passed it just for the justices, the House then went "You know, we should probably protect the clerks and other court employees too" and the Senate GOP threw a tantrum and said they'd refuse to pass that and so the House eventually went "jesus fine you fucking weirdos" and passed the more limited Senate version and saying they'd work on the expanded version later.

Putting aside whether the measure was needed, or the naked hypocrisy and self-serving nature of it all, it was just weird af.

They (the limited House bloc) actually wanted it for every federal judge across the country. Which, just isn't feasible in the scope of the US Marshall's. Difference between adding 9 peoples immediate families and 2700s.

It would have effectively poison pilled it completely.
