Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett testified (along with Justice Elena Kagan) before a House Appropriations subcommittee on Supreme Court funding and budgetary matters yesterday. As part of her testimony, she told the subcommittee that the threat level faced by the Justices these days “is really high.”
She described her own experiences such as having to wear a bulletproof vest following the Dobbs decision leak, being swatted recently, and having packages delivered to her home in the name of the murdered son of a federal District Court judge.
Watch the video, above.
This is outrageous stuff and, obviously, totally unacceptable. And with another hot-button case like Viramontes being decided next year, it’s critically important that security for the Justices be tighter now than ever. Leftists have carried out shootings before — or tried — and said in the manifestos they left behind that they did it, at least in part, to advance the cause of gun control.
With the rise in the glorification of assassins on the left in recent years, don’t think they wouldn’t try to take out a conservative justice again, whether to affect the Viramontes ruling or for any number of other left wing priorities.
Not long ago, such an idea would have sounded farfetched and insane to me. But after Charlie Kirk, after the deification of Luigi Mangione, after repeated attempts on Trump’s life, it isn’t crazy anymore.

“…it’s critically important that security for the Justices be tighter now than ever.”
It’s also critically important that justices can do their jobs without being intimidated. Apparently, Amy had no idea what she was signing up for. She should resign and let someone who can handle the pressure do the job. No more female nominees. We’ve tried it multiple times now, and it has never worked out that well.
How right-wing are women with two last names? Why are we putting feminists on the Supreme Court?
For those who don’t know, ACB was NOT on the list of vetted Federalist Society judges that Trump said he would choose from when he ran in 2016. Mitch McConnell told Trump he had to nominate her or he wouldn’t work to push judges through senate approval. Thanks for nothing, Mitch!
any boney carrot.
the only good thing about libjudges is the money you should be saving on security. they don’t really need it.
