The House on Tuesday passed Senate-approved legislation to increase security for Supreme Court justices’ families, in the wake of an alleged attempt on the life of Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh.
The legislation, known as the Supreme Court Police Parity Act of 2022, passed overwhelmingly by a vote of 396-27.
“By passing this bill as is, we are sending a clear message to the left-wing radicals: You cannot intimidate the Supreme Court justice, and hopefully all take that message to heart,” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, California Republican, said on the floor before the bill’s passage.
He said the measure should not have taken as long as it did, about a month, to pass the House.
