Following a threat to Justice Kavanaugh’s life, the House voted to pass a bill that would extend security to the family members of Supreme Court justices. The bill is now headed to President Biden’s desk.
After a Supreme Court draft opinion’s release to the public, a threat to Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s life and a House-Senate snafu,is headed to President Joe Biden’s desk.Chris CoonsMomentum for the bill was driven by protests outside justices’ homes in the wake of the draft opinion, published by POLITICO, that would strike down, renewed calls for its House passage last week after a man who was picked up by law enforcement outside Kavanaugh’s home was charged with attempted murder.
As recently as Monday afternoon, a source told POLITICO that the plan was to put up a modified version of the Senate bill that would include protections for the family members of Supreme Court employees. — ultimately failed to land a deal on increased employee protections. Democrats had hoped to include language that would let the marshal of the Supreme Court determine if any employee’s family member also needed security protection.
“If House Democrats actually believed in the snake oil they’re trying to sell, they would have passed their own bill a month ago, but they didn’t and they haven’t,” Cornyn said. But House Democrats ultimately agreed to keep the Senate bill as is, backing down from their plan to go bigger but also defanging possible political fodder for Republicans.
