The Supreme Court requested millions more from Congress in security funding. "On-going threat assessments show evolving risks that require continuous protection," the budget request read. "Additional funding would provide for contract positions, eventually transitioning to full-time employees, that will augment capabilities of the Supreme Court police force and allow it to accomplish its protective mission." It's the court's first budget request following heightened concerns about the justices' safety. Additional fencing had also been erected outside of the Supreme Court building, though was later taken down as protests dwindled near the end of August.
Sen. Ted Cruz pressed AG Merrick Garland over the DOJ's response to protests outside Supreme Court justices' homes. Cruz accused Garland and the DOJ of being politically biased. The Texas Republican condemned the protestors as rioters and extremists organizing harassment campaigns against the justices and accused Garland of inaction. Other Republicans on the committee, including Sen. Mike Lee of Utah, similarly raised concerns about DOJ's handling of the protests outside Supreme Court justices' homes last year. "It's very clear that they're trying to influence in one way or another those serving on the United States Supreme Court," Lee said.

A Fox News host claimed the police response to the attack on Nancy Pelosi's husband was harsher than usual. Jesse Watters referenced right-wing talking points accusing the Democratic party of being soft on crime. The assailant broke into Pelosi's San Francisco home on Friday and "violently" attacked her 82-year-old husband, Paul Pelosi with a hammer, leading to him being hospitalized, authorities said. "The Democrats in the media have been ignoring the crime wave and only cover it when Nancy Pelosi's husband's attacked," he said. Watters said he "wanted to see the alleged perpetrator being treated the same as if he attacked anyone else."
But one extremism expert told Insider that the isolated assault is in many ways more dangerous. Individuals now feel "empowered to carry out those acts of political violence," Eric Ward said. "This is the unfolding of events since January 6," Eric Ward, senior advisor to the Western States Center, told Insider. Authorities said a 42-year-old man broke into the Pelosi residence early Friday morning and violently attacked Paul Pelosi with a hammer, sending him to the hospital. "The attacker who injured Paul Pelosi was looking for Nancy Pelosi, likely wanting to finish the job of Jan.
The court said in a statement Wednesday that people will be able to attend oral arguments when its new term starts Monday, although "the building will otherwise remain closed to the public." In March 2020, the justices initially pivoted to holding remote oral arguments by teleconference before they resumed in-person oral arguments in a largely empty courtroom last fall. In a major development, the court began livestreaming audio of oral arguments at the beginning of the pandemic, for the first time allowing the public to hear the court proceedings without being present in the courtroom. Throughout the pandemic, tourists have been barred from the court building, with only some court staff members, lawyers and journalists allowed access at certain times. In June, as the court issued its abortion ruling and other big decisions, a security fence surrounded the court.
