Supreme Court justices Amy Coney Barrett and Elena Kagan are scheduled to testify before Congress following a series of high-profile decisions, according to reports. The two justices are expected to appear as lawmakers examine concerns including the safety and security of justices amid what multiple outlets describe as an increase in political violence. One reason cited for the congressional appearance is that the justices are seeking additional resources for security measures. The reports link the testimony to broader scrutiny of the courts’ operations and the risks facing members of the judiciary, particularly after closely watched rulings. The outlets do not present a unified list of specific decisions in the provided summaries, but they characterize the upcoming testimony as part of ongoing efforts by Congress and the judiciary to address security and ensure protections for the Supreme Court. The appearance is framed as a formal opportunity for the justices to explain current security needs and to respond to questions from members of Congress.
