US Supreme Court needs more security funding amid threats, justices tell lawmakers

Supreme Court justices Elena Kagan and Amy Coney Barrett have urged Congress to provide more security funding, citing a significant increase in threats. Both parties in Congress seem inclined to back this request, highlighting the growing concern over safety at the highest judicial body. This push for enhanced security underscores the broader implications for judicial independence and the rule of law, as threats to justices could undermine public trust in the court's impartiality.
