Justices Elena Kagan and Amy Coney Barrett pitched increased security funding for the Supreme Court next year at a pair of rare congressional hearings for sitting justices Tuesday that covered issues ranging from emergency cases to judicial ethics.
Kagan and Barrett focused most of their testimony on increased security concerns at the court amid rising threats in recent years. The pair’s testimony to House and Senate Appropriations subcommittees marked the first time that justices have appeared before Congress since 2019.
