Supreme Court Justices Elena Kagan and Amy Coney Barrett are scheduled to appear next week before a congressional committee. Both outlets report that the two justices will testify before a House subcommittee of the Appropriations Committee. The appearance is set for July 14, according to the Daily Signal, with the Washington Post also placing the hearing on next Tuesday. The subject of the testimony is the Supreme Court’s budget. The reports describe Kagan as a liberal justice and Barrett as a conservative justice, reflecting their generally identified ideological positions, and note that Barrett was nominated to the Court by President Donald Trump in 2020. Neither source indicates that the testimony itself is tied to a specific case ruling, but it follows the Court’s recent term of decisions. The hearings are part of Congress’s budget oversight process for the judiciary, and the participation of two justices underscores the Court’s involvement in the legislative appropriations cycle.
