Democrats push off Supreme Court protection bill after armed man charged with attempted murder of Kavanaugh – By Brooke Singman (Fox News)/ June 9, 2022
Republicans McCarthy and McConnell slammed Democrats for blocking a bill to expand Supreme Court security
House Democrats on Wednesday again pushed off the consideration of Senate-approved legislation that would offer additional protection to Supreme Court justices – just a day after man was charged with attempting to murder Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., on Tuesday made a unanimous consent request to bring the legislation that would increase security for justices to the House floor for consideration on Tuesday and again on Wednesday, after the arrest and charging of 26-year-old Nicholas Roske, who allegedly intended to carry out a murder-suicide plot against Kavanaugh at his Maryland home.
The Senate, last month, unanimously passed a bill amid protests at justices’ homes following the leak of a draft opinion indicating the high court is likely to overturn Roe v. Wade.
