What are the perks of being on the US Supreme Court?

In: US Supreme Court [Edit categories]

Answer:

Justices have the ultimate job security. Supreme Court justices serve life-terms. On another note, what the Supreme Court says, goes. Their decisions become the "law of the land" and can overturn and create new standards, or precedents for the entire country. For example, Roe v. Wade was a decision on abortion and the precedent created by the Supreme Court is enforceable through the entire nation. State laws can be written about abortion, but they can not conflict with the Roe v. Wade precedent.
