Justices on the United States Supreme Court are asking Congress for increased security amidst a rise in threats of violence and intimidation.
Justices Elena Kagan and Amy Coney Barrett are scheduled to make a rare appearance before lawmakers Tuesday to testify on the justices’ need for elevated protection.
This marks the first time since 2019 that Supreme Court justices have spoken to members of Congress.
Justice Barrett has recounted needing to wear a bulletproof vest in her own home, which she said was difficult to explain to her then-12-year-old son.
“I didn’t expect that performing this service would put me in the position of explaining to my children what a bulletproof vest was, why I had to wear one,” she said.
An attempted assassin was arrested near Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home in 2022 shortly after a draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade was leaked to the public. The would-be assassin was found with weapons and zip ties in his possession.
The Court is asking Congress for a total of $228 million for the next fiscal year, about a 10 percent increase over the amount they were given previously.
About $15 million of this funding would be directed towards increased security for the justices, including an additional six personal protection agents for each member of the Court.
An additional $2 million would be earmarked for an off-site residential security post designed to improve emergency response times.
The number of Supreme Court police officers would also be increased under the expanded budget.
ICE has a job to do..continuous harassment of these people will be like harassment of any other department. Why can’t people see the whole picture? If you’re here illegally, then your to be removed.
This individual that assaulted the officer that was doing his job, is guilty of assault with a deadly weapon..a vehicle. That officer had every right to defend himself as others have in similar situations.
Let them do their jobs, they have families too.
I back ICE in what their doing, if you’re here illegally, then leave peacefully.
Anyone interfering with law enforcement operations should be charged with interfering. If they break the law by being here, then they answer to their actions.
This is a very serious matter. All threats should be investigated and prosecuted. Security concerns should not be affecting the Justices’ votes. If a Justice cannot cope with the fear, he or she should resign. Has fear been impacting the SCOTUS decisions? It does appear that many brilliant legal minds in America have seriously questioned the decision SCOTUS made regarding Birthright Citizenship. As well, Justice Barrett needs to realize that millions of other American mothers are not sleeping as well because we are watching our Constitutional Republic being threatened by invading illegals, incompetent government, and even communists. Normals feel we can find security only in our prayers—may God save America!

If any justice felt threatened, shouldn’t the cases they voted on while they felt threatened be revisited?
