Justice Elena Kagan and Justice Amy Coney Barrett will appear before a congressional panel on Monday to examine rising tensions after a heated Supreme Court session. Conservative groups have argued that Kagan should not preside over upcoming climate lawsuits due to alleged bias. The hearing comes after weeks of criticism over the Court’s significant rulings and comes as lawmakers review the judicial budget. Safety worries are a top priority, with justices asking for more protection from Congress as threats increase against the justices.
