Justices Demand Security Amid Rising Threats | US News
Description
Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett revealed she now wears a bulletproof vest — even to school events — explaining to her 12-year-old son why safety is non-negotiable. As threats against justices surge, the Court is demanding $14.6 million to add six personal security agents per justice, amid a nationwide spike in violence against federal judges. Since the 2022 draft opinion leak, incidents like swatting at Barrett’s home and armed intruders near Justice Kavanaugh have intensified fears. Chief Justice Roberts has warned that while judicial criticism is expected, personal attacks are unacceptable and must stop — as the judiciary braces for a future where safety is no longer optional.
