Supreme Court Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Elena Kagan appeared on Capitol Hill to request a ten percent increase in Supreme Court budget spending. The intent is to hire additional security to protect themselves from the outcome of their rulings.
Justice Barrett talked about the harrowing threats to herself and her family as the Court wants to bolster security. The overall appearance before congress is slightly ironic considering the increase in threats is a direct consequence of court rulings that have opened borders, blocked deportation, stalled law enforcement, granted illegal aliens rights to citizenship and generally undermined our nation’s domestic tranquility.
Sorry, but my opinion on the matter has adjusted to new information. The Supreme Court should have to live in the reality of the world they judicially create. No additional public security should be afforded. They have a security detail that supersedes any security level a taxpaying American citizen might be afforded.
No expanded security details should be afforded to government employees, just to avoid the consequences of their ideology.
Mrs Barrett and her family can carry self-defense firearms, wear protective vests and worry about their security in the parking lot of the local supermarket just like we do. Not to be obtuse, but the Constitution equally applies.
Is it possible certain justices have ruled the way they have (e.g. ACB) because of the threats? Like could that be being used as blackmail? I’m positing its threats -> ruling as opposed to ruling -> threats. Just a thought
ACB is a liar and a traitor! She needs to resign, even if she is doing it due to threats. Do the right thing or resign if she can’t handle the pressure. She already has security that we pay for, unlike the rest of us who have to deal with millions of illegals violence thanks to her and Roberts. She can afford to pay for additional security. We can’t!
“Do the right thing or resign…”
The liar and traitor doesn’t know how to do the right thing.
I hope she resigns, to protect herself and her family, and most of all the rest of us from her.
i think roberts was theatened on obamacare, but then he dove into the statist anus once he knew where the chips lay.
Forget the increase. Just assign to her the security personnel who were surrounding President Trump at Butler.
Agree totally, Sundance. Let them live with the consequences of their actions like the rest of us.
If the Supreme Court justices want more security, then the people responsible for the threats (i.e., the Demonic Party) whose leaders (e.g., Chuck Schumer and Raphael Warnock) have threatened the justices, should have to pay for it.
So who leaked the Dobbs decision that started this . You get the money when that is released. I don’t think your son is naive as you presented him. If you are scared retire then. Judge Rao would be a better jurist than you..
If they’re getting so many serious threats, how many investigations & prosecutions are going on?
How many people are spending a long time in prison for the threats? Would like to see some stats on that as I sure don’t hear about investigations, prosecutions, and imprisonment happening except for once in a very great while.
here here. Second amendment definitely will be useful to her and her family due to these predictable circumstances
The chicken has come home to roost!
right on
Resign. Let’s do a re-do for your spot.
if Amy Croney gets popped for her treason, we get another shot at a justice for the people instead of the ameycroney rubberstamp for the shithole international corporatists. just an observation.
Why am I not concerned about any threats to the Supreme Court when they repeatedly ignore the very real threats to the United States and American citizens.
How many times has the Supreme Court refused to rule on the Californua AR-15 bans, magazine bans and sensitive places bans after the Bruen Decision that clearly made the 2A bans 100% illegal and unconstitutional.
Failure to reign in birthright citizenship citing a 1650 English law that persons born within the English Realm are subjects of the King?
Failing to rule that when the Constitution says election day it doesn’t mean election month?
Can’t believe this is a Supreme Court justice. She sounds like Donald Duck quacking. You can see the fear in her eyes. There is no doubt that fear is clouding how she votes on different issues. She needs to resign and let someone fearless and competent take her place.
“The Supreme Court should have to live in the reality of the world they judicially create. No additional public security should be afforded. They have a security detail that supersedes any security level a taxpaying American citizen might be afforded.”
First listening to that whimpering little voice talking about things at home as if she were a 1950s stay at home mom who actually treated her children tenderly — instead of sending them out to be indoctrinated in D.C. — made me infuriated that this whimp is making major decisions that effect every American.
Give me a break, toots. If that’s the best you’ve got — hiding behind your whimpy little voice — then quit and let someone with courage do the job.
And her son doesn’t know what a bullet proof vest is? Yes, right, uh ha, and he’s never heard Amy yell at her husband before, either.
Then I read your words, Sundance, and totally agreed with them all.
If she lives in such a frail world, such an unrealistic world where she has not actually seen life as it is, then she really, really needs to quit and let someone with common sense, morals, reality and courage do the job.
US citizens want more security too. All they gave us was hundreds of thousands more violent illegals, refugees.
Is she now afraid for her future rulings that may upset the wrong side of the aisle?
Unfavorable rulings may be coming. She’s trying to get ahead of the curve and ask for funding now.
If any nominally conservative Supreme Court Justice is eliminated going forward by a rabid crazed Leftist then Ketanji Jackson should also be pulled off the court to assure that balance is restored.
Schumer calling out Gorsuch and Kavanaugh and now the conservatives justices are wearing Kevlar.
