Justice Elena Kagan and Justice Amy Coney Barrett are set to 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 scheduled climate rulings due to alleged bias. The hearing comes after weeks of criticism over the Court’s key decisions and comes as lawmakers review the judicial budget. Safety worries remain a key focus, with justices asking for more protection from Congress amid a rise in threats against the judges.
