U.S. Supreme Court Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Elena Kagan appeared before a House appropriations panel Tuesday, marking the first time Supreme Court justices have testified before Congress since 2019.<\/p>\n

The justices testified in support of the Supreme Court’s latest budget request, which calls for a significant increase in security spending. The security portion of the budget request is more than $20 million above current levels, following multiple threats on justices’ lives in recent years.<\/p>\n

The largest share of the increase \u2014 $14.6 million \u2014 would provide each justice with six additional security agents. Another $2 million would increase the number of Supreme Court police officers and establish an off-site security post aimed at making residential emergency responses faster.<\/p>\n

The budget request also highlights how justices feel their families need protection similar to what presidents and vice presidents receive. Judges across the country have seen a rise in threats of violence.<\/p>\n

Barrett was recently a swatting victim, with someone calling the police to report fake gunfire at her home. Then last year, authorities said her sister was the victim of a bomb threat.<\/p>\n

Kagan focused much of her testimony on the rise in threats faced not only by Supreme Court justices, but federal judges across the country. Addressing political violence also remains a prominent topic on Capitol Hill given the number of politically motivated assassinations and assassination attempts of public figures in recent years.<\/p>\n
