Episode Details

Supreme Court justices are urgently asking Congress for over $200 million in new security funding — a 53% jump — to protect themselves and their families amid a surge in threats, including swatting, cyberattacks fueled by AI, and even a recent arrest of a woman armed with weapons meant for Chief Justice Roberts. Justices like Amy Coney Barrett and Elena Kagan shared harrowing personal stories, from being sent home with bulletproof vests after rulings to facing life-threatening false alarms. With 370 threats against federal judges this year alone and security needs now rivaling those of cabinet officials, the justices’ public plea underscores a deepening crisis of safety and trust in the judiciary.
