Episode Details

Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett revealed that threats against federal judges have hit an all-time high, forcing the Court to request over $228 million for enhanced security — including bulletproof vests and police protection. Barrett shared personal stories, including her son’s innocent question about why she needed armor after the draft opinion leak, and a recent swatting incident at her home. Justice Elena Kagan added that threats are projected to rise another 38% this year, on top of last year’s 25% jump, with cybersecurity and AI posing new risks. This isn’t just about funding — it’s about protecting the judiciary so they can do their vital work without fear.
