Supreme Court justices security funding
작성: Flint: Amy Coney Barrett
Supreme Court Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Elena Kagan are set to testify before Congress requesting additional security funding. The implication is clear: conservatives aren't threatening liberal justices,Democrats are targeting conservative ones. Someone already appeared at Brett Kavanaugh's home. #AmyConeyBarrett

2022 near Justice Brett Kavanaugh's home, police arrested someone with weapons who was later charged with attempted assassination. Protesters gathered outside Justice Clarence Thomas' home in Virginia after the Dobbs decision, which ended the federal constitutional right to abortion, and protesters gathered outside the home of Justice Amy Coney Barrett following the leak of the draft Dobbs' opinion. And overall, the Supreme Court is requesting a budget of $228 million dollars for the 2027 fiscal year. That's a roughly 10 percent increase over the year before and 14.6 million would be used to strengthen security protections. An additional two million dollars would cover security costs at their homes and the funding would also increase the cost to be able to staff an additional 25 full-time Supreme Court police officers. So the last time the Supreme court justices testified before Congress. That was in 2019. That was when Elena Kagan and Samuel Alito testified about the court's budget request as well. Back to you. All right, Alex, thank you.
