Justice Elena Kagan and Justice Amy Coney Barrett will appear before a congressional panel on Monday to discuss 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 arrives amid weeks of criticism over the Court’s key decisions and occurs while lawmakers review the judicial budget. Security concerns remain a key focus, with justices seeking stronger protection from Congress amid a rise in threats against the judges.
