Justices Demand More for Safety | Charleston News
Description
Supreme Court justices are demanding $14 million to boost security — not just for the courthouse, but for their personal safety as threats against judges have surged 57% in the last year. One justice explained to her kids why she wears a bulletproof vest, while another received suspicious food deliveries tied to the murder of a judge’s son. The spike in threats intensified after the Dobbs decision leak, fueling public skepticism and sparking a bipartisan push for funding — the first time justices have testified before Congress since 2019. This is a wake-up call for the judiciary’s safety in an increasingly hostile environment.
