Kagan, Barrett push Supreme Court budget with boosted security in rare testimony

Supreme Court Justices Elena Kagan and Amy Coney Barrett testified side-by-side before House and Senate committees on Tuesday. The two justices, appointed by presidents of different parties, urged lawmakers to increase their security budget to $230 million. This request follows a persistent rise in threats targeting the justices and their families. Their rare joint appearance aimed to secure the necessary funding to defend against these increasing security risks through a boosted budget allocation from Congress.
