The request includes an increase of nearly $15 million to make members of the Supreme Court Police available to protect the justices and their families, including at their homes. The US Marshals Service took on the responsibility of protecting the justices\u2019 homes in 2022 following the unprecedented leak of a draft opinion of the decision overturning Roe v. Wade, but that was never intended to be a permanent solution.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Overall, the judiciary is seeking $9.7 billion in discretionary funding, a 4.5% increase over last year.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Security incidents involving judges that the Marshals Service classified as of \u201csignificant concern\u201d jumped 57% in 2025 \u2014 a point Barrett and Kagan are sure to stress.\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        Barrett\u2019s bulletproof vest\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            Barrett has been involved with several close calls that have become public. Police in Washington\u2019s Virginia suburbs said in May that they had been called to the home of a Supreme Court justice for what they determined was a \u201cfictitious\u201d report of gunfire. CNN later reported that it was Barrett\u2019s home that was targeted, though neither the justice nor the court has publicly acknowledged the incident.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The home of Barrett\u2019s sister in South Carolina was the target of a bomb threat a year earlier. Barrett, meanwhile, spoke openly at a conference in 2024 about being sent home from the Supreme Court with a bulletproof vest. The court, which is exceedingly closed-lipped about security, never explained why Barrett was issued protective gear.\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=5589\">Inside Trump\u2019s scramble to get White South Africans to the US as refugees<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n            The highest-profile incident involving a Supreme Court justice took place in 2022, when a Californian who now identifies as Sophie Roske flew across the country and appeared in Justice Brett Kavanaugh\u2019s neighborhood with a bag full of guns and other weapons intending to kill the justice. Roske last year was sentenced to just over 8 years in prison and a lifetime of supervised release.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Roth said he supported the increase \u201cthat will help them hire the right amount of personnel and protection that they sadly but definitely need.\u201d But at the same time, he said, \u201cit\u2019s a precipitous increase and lawmakers have every right to want to examine rather than just giving the justices a blank check.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The judiciary\u2019s 2027 budget request is only the latest to ask for additional security funding. That has led to a noticeably beefier security presence when the justices travel.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Justice\u202fClarence Thomas, a member of the court\u2019s conservative wing, has openly groused about the heightened security that has become necessary in recent years, telling an audience in Florida in May that it is now far more difficult for him to take part in activities outside the courthouse.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cThe security concerns now are much different from the way they were when I first became a circuit justice,\u201d Thomas told a conference of judges and lawyers outside Miami. \u201cThat\u2019s really one of the big changes since I\u2019ve been on the court \u2014 that it\u2019s become very, very dicey.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<h2>\n        Ethics, prediction markets on tap\n<\/h2>\n<p>\n            While Kagan and Barrett will be eager to keep the focus on security funding, they are certain to be asked about other more controversial topics as well. Lawmakers are expected to ask how the judiciary is dealing with prediction markets internally, the processes the court has implemented to clamp down on leaks and lingering questions about ethics procedures following a series of high-profile scandals involving luxury travel by some of the justices, multiple congressional aides told CNN.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            What\u2019s less clear is whether Barrett, in particular, will face questions about a series of votes she has taken in high-profile appeals this year against Trump. The tension between Trump\u2019s most recent nominee and some in the conservative legal movement has been palpable for more than a year. That friction was exacerbated last month when Barrett sided with Chief Justice John Roberts and the court\u2019s liberals in concluding that the president\u2019s attempt to end automatic birthright citizenship through an executive order was unconstitutional.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Barrett voted to overturn Roe v. Wade in 2022 and has been a reliable vote for conservative outcomes in Second Amendment and religious cases. She was one of six justices who voted to grant Trump sweeping immunity from criminal prosecution for official actions. Just last term, she authored an opinion that limited the ability of lower court judges to block the president\u2019s agenda.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            But she\u2019s nevertheless drawn criticism from some conservatives for notable breaks with the president. This year, in addition to the birthright case, she joined the court\u2019s majority opinion in February shutting down the president\u2019s sweeping global tariffs.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Mike Davis, a conservative legal operative who is close to the Trump administration, has been among Barrett\u2019s most vocal critics \u2014 including on her vote in the birthright citizenship case. But Davis said he doesn\u2019t think the hearings Tuesday will be the right place to raise those concerns.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cWhile Justice Barrett\u2019s vote on birthright citizenship is highly destructive and inexcusable,\u201d Davis told CNN, \u201cit is not the job of Congress to grill Supreme Court justices over their legal rulings at appropriations hearings.\u201d\n    <\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=5581\">Graham\u2019s death highlights a power shift and a new question: What\u2019s coming next in Washington?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n<em>CNN\u2019s Holmes Lybrand contributed to this report. <\/em>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the federal judiciary makes a rare personal pitch to Congress this week for tens of millions of dollars in additional security funding, the Supreme Court is sending a messenger who is positioned to speak in unusually personal terms about the threats the judiciary faces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5602,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5609","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
