周二，艾米·科尼·巴雷特大法官罕见地亲自恳求为最高法院增加安保经费，利用这次国会听证会首次公开谈及针对她本人及其家人的人身威胁。
当天与卡根大法官一同出面，请求为司法系统安保拨款增加数百万美元的巴雷特，回忆了两起事件——最近一次是她家遭遇的虚假报警骚扰，另一次是她说针对自己的威胁“尤为严峻”时配发的防弹背心。
“我从未想过，履行这项公职竟会让我需要向孩子们解释什么是防弹背心，以及为什么我必须穿着它，”巴雷特说道。

华盛顿弗吉尼亚郊区警方今年5月表示，他们曾接到某最高法院大法官住所的报警电话，经调查认定是“虚假”的枪击报告。美国有线电视新闻网事后证实，被针对的正是巴雷特的住所，但这位大法官和最高法院此前从未公开承认过这起事件。
巴雷特周二表示，案发当晚她的一个十几岁儿子开门准备和朋友外出时，迎面看到大批警车“因接到我家传出枪声和争吵的虚假报警而赶到，现场气氛紧张”。
卡根在众议院小组委员会作证时，重点谈及最高法院大法官和其他联邦法官面临的威胁呈上升趋势。近年来针对大法官的威胁数量激增。
“对我们中的一些人来说，这些威胁已经非常逼近，我们所有人都清楚，它们可能再次出现，”卡根对众议院议员们表示。“但正如首席大法官所言，法院全体成员仍会依照他们认为合法正确的方式履职，无惧偏袒、无畏恐吓地裁决案件。”
自由派大法官卡根与由唐纳德·特朗普总统任命至最高法院的巴雷特，正出席众议院和参议院拨款小组委员会听证会，争取增加安保经费。大法官上一次在国会作证还是在2019年。
司法系统整体申请的安保经费接近9.21亿美元，较去年增加2900万美元，用于联邦法院的一线安保力量。这项拨款申请还包括增加近1500万美元，用于配备最高法院警察局人员，以保护大法官及其家人，包括在他们的住所提供安保。

美国司法部长官署归类为“高度关切”的针对法官的安保事件在2025年激增了57%。卡根也以异常个人化的口吻谈及最高法院的安保状况。
“我2010年首次加入最高法院，当时的安保情况与现在大不相同，”卡根说。“我没有自己的安保团队，只有在参加与工作相关的公开活动时，才会有安保人员随行。”
针对最高法院大法官的最受关注事件发生在2022年，一名现自称索菲·罗斯克的加州男子跨州飞行至布雷特·卡瓦诺大法官的住所附近，携带装满枪支和其他武器的背包，意图杀害这位大法官。罗斯克去年被判处8年多监禁及终身监管释放。
卡根悼念林赛·格雷厄姆
卡根在开场陈述中简要悼念了已故参议员林赛·格雷厄姆，称这位南卡罗来纳州共和党议员不仅在2010年投票支持对她的确认，还认真履行了会见和质询她的职责。
作为参议院司法委员会成员，格雷厄姆在质询现任多位大法官时发挥了关键作用。

卡根还提到了一段走红网络的插曲：格雷厄姆曾问她去年圣诞节在哪里。作为犹太教信徒，卡根回答说，自己“大概率在中餐馆”。会场顿时爆发出笑声。
“之后很多人跟我说，就是这一刻让我的确认程序尘埃落定，”卡根周二对议员们说道。

Justices Kagan and Barrett demand more Supreme Court security funding in rare appearance before Congress

Justice Amy Coney Barrett delivered an unusual and personal plea for additional security funding for the Supreme Court on Tuesday, using a rare hearing before Congress to address for the first time addressing personal threats that have been directed against her and her family.
Barrett, who was joined Tuesday by Justice Elena Kagan in requesting millions more for judiciary security, recalled two incidents – a recent swatting attempt at her home and the issuance of bullet proof vest when, she said, threats against her were “particularly intense.”
“I didn’t expect that performing this service was going to put me in the position of explaining to my children what a bulletproof vest was and why I had to wear one,” Barrett said.

Police in Washington’s Virginia suburbs said in May that they had been called to the home of a Supreme Court justice for what they determined was a “fictitious” report of gunfire. CNN later confirmed that it was Barrett’s home that was targeted, though neither the justice nor the court had previously publicly acknowledged the incident.
Barrett said Tuesday that one of her teenage sons opened the door that evening to head out with friends and was confronted with an armada of police cars that “had responded to a false report of gun shots and raised voices in my home.”
Kagan focused her testimony before a House subcommittee on the increase in threats faced by Supreme Court justices and other federal judges. There has been a spike in threats aimed at the justices in recent years.
“For some of us, those threats have come very close, and all of us live with the knowledge that they may again materialize,” Kagan told House lawmakers. “But, as the chief justice has said, all members of the court continue to do their jobs as they believe legally right, adjudicating cases without fear or favor.”
Liberal justice Kagan and Barrett, who was placed on the high court by President Donald Trump, are appearing before House and Senate appropriations subcommittees to make a pitch for additional security funding. Justices last testified before Congress in 2019.
The judiciary has requested nearly $921 million for security overall, a $29 million increase compared to last year, for frontline security forces at federal courthouses. The ask includes an increase of nearly $15 million to make members of the Supreme Court Police available to protect the justices and their families, including at their homes.

Security incidents involving judges that the Marshals Service classified as of “significant concern” jumped 57% in 2025. Kagan also spoke to the security posture at the high court in an unusually personal tenor.
“I first joined the court in 2010. Our security was much different at that time,” Kagan said. “I did not have a security team of my own, and was accompanied by security personnel only when I participated in work-related, public events.”
The highest-profile incident involving a Supreme Court justice took place in 2022, when a Californian who now identifies as Sophie Roske flew across the country and appeared in Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s neighborhood with a bag full of guns and other weapons intending to kill the justice. Roske last year was sentenced to just over 8 years in prison and a lifetime of supervised release.
Kagan homage to Lindsey Graham
Kagan offered a brief homage to the late Sen. Lindsey Graham during her opening statement, saying that the South Carolina Republican had not only voted for her confirmation in 2010 but also took seriously his role in meeting with and questioning her.
As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Graham had an outsized role in questioning many of the current justices.

Kagan also noted a viral moment when Graham had asked Kagan where she was the previous Christmas. Like all members of the Jewish faith, Kagan responded, she was “probably at a Chinese restaurant.” The committee room erupted into laughter at Kagan’s response.
“Many people said to me afterward that was the moment my confirmation was sealed,” Kagan told the lawmakers Tuesday.
