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 insist that Kagan should not preside over upcoming climate lawsuits due to alleged bias. The hearing follows weeks of criticism over the Court’s significant rulings and occurs while lawmakers scrutinize the judicial budget. Safety worries are a major focus, with justices asking for more protection from Congress as threats mount against the Court's members.
