Supreme Court warns Congress threats are rising and the court needs more security

Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan informed Congress that threats against Supreme Court justices are expected to rise by nearly 40% this year, following a 25% increase last year. This surge in threats highlights a growing concern as courts increasingly rule on highly divisive policy issues, risking the court's impartiality. The escalating danger underscores the need for heightened security to protect the integrity and independence of the judicial system.
