The House gave final approval Tuesday to legislation that would allow around-the-clock security protection for families of Supreme Court justices, one week after a man carrying a gun, knife and zip ties was arrested near Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s house after threatening to kill the justice.
The Senate passed the bill unanimously last month, but it languished in the House as Democrats sought to broaden the measure to include protection for families of court employees. Republicans ramped up pressure to pass the bill after the arrest at Kavanaugh’s house, asserting that Democrats were essentially trying to intimidate the justices as the court weighs a potential landmark ruling on abortion.
The House passed the security measure overwhelmingly, 396-27. All of the votes in opposition came from Democrats.

Going through the motions for appearances. Probably hiring Antifa to provide security.
Took the Dems long enough to make it right.
Pretty grudging on their part. Pettiness raised to an exponential power, they seem to have no empathy whatsoever some days. Only done for the bad optics if they did nothing.
If I had to guess, it is because they achieved their favourable ruling.
It would ensure another anti-American on the bench and garner more RINO support for gun control.
I’m willing to bet the only judges targeted for protests were the conservative ones. The others were for show.
I don’t know exactly how, but I feel like if they assassinate a conservative judge and believe they can replace that person with a progressive, it would not go the way they expect. If it did, that would be a very very short step to judges hanging from overpasses, like Columbia in the 80s.
As I said, I’m not sure how, but I believe the normal nomination and confirmation process would be nothing like anyone thinks, or can even imagine at this point.
Schumer for prison. Nuff said.
Now they can claim they did something, without mentioning it was in the 11th hour.
Praying for Roe v Wade to be gone, and for the safety of the justices.
Or Michael Byrd.
like Columbia in the 80s.
Sadly, this country is almost like Columbia in the 80’s now.
About **** time.
They have security. The problem is they aren’t enforcing the law
Nice of them to get around to it. The 27 Democrats who voted against the bill can go to Hell for effectively endorsing assassinating Supreme Court Justices.
John Wick needs to make a visit to the crowd outside the justices homes
I think you are exactly right.
Emotions would boil over. Violence would escalate. It would become a hot war. All bets are off.
