Justice Elena Kagan and Justice Amy Coney Barrett will appear before a congressional panel on Monday to examine heightened friction after a heated Supreme Court session. Conservative groups contend that Kagan should not oversee over upcoming climate lawsuits due to claimed bias. The hearing follows weeks of criticism over the Court’s significant rulings and occurs while lawmakers review the judicial budget. Security concerns are a major focus, with justices requesting increased protection from Congress amid a rise in threats against the justices.
