Nearly 400 federal judges facing threats last year, with another 276 targeted during the first half of this year, according to the U.S.
Marshals Service.
The danger becoming frighteningly real in June of 2022, when a California man traveled across the country
to Justice Brett Kavanaugh's Maryland neighborhood, intending to assassinate him.
Nicholas Roski, arriving near the justice's home with a Glock handgun, ammunition, a tactical knife, zip ties, pepper spray, and burglary tools, before calling 911 himself and surrendering to police.
Roski pleading guilty last year to attempted murder, admitting he was angered by the leaked draft opinion, signaling the court was prepared to overturn Roe v. Wade.
The leak triggering weeks of demonstrations in the spring of 2022 with pro-abortion activists gathering outside the Supreme Court and repeatedly protesting near the private homes of conservative justices.
Justice Kagan telling members of the House Appropriations Subcommittee the Supreme Court police force is now preparing for another dramatic increase in threatening activity.
Justice Barrett, a mother of seven, describing how the threats have forced the dangers of her job directly into the lives of her children.
Barrett also revealing her home was recently targeted in a swatting attack, a hoax designed to send heavily armed police officers rushing to a victim's address under false pretenses.
During the Senate hearing, Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins calling out Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer over prior remarks she argues helped fuel hostility towards the court.
Senator Collins pointing to Schumer's 2020 speech at a pro-abortion rally outside the Supreme Court.
where he singled out Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh as the court considered a challenge to Louisiana abortion restrictions.
Mr. Schumer later saying he was referring to political consequences, acknowledging he should not have used those words.
The hearing later turning to the unexpected death of Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who played a central role in several Supreme Court confirmation battles during his years on the Judiciary Committee.
Kagan recalling one moment from her own 2010 confirmation hearing when Graham briefly interrupted a serious discussion about terrorism and the laws of war with a far less complicated question.
The exchange becoming one of the most memorable moments of Justice Kagan's confirmation, Senator Graham ultimately joined four other Republicans in supporting her nomination, Justice Kagan remembering Senator Graham as an unusually independent voice in an increasingly partisan confirmation process.
Darlene Graham Nordone taking the oath of office in the U.S.
Senate Tuesday, becoming the first woman ever to represent South Carolina in the chamber.
Republican Governor Henry McMaster appointing Nordone to complete the term of her older brother, the late Senator Lindsey Graham, who died suddenly on Saturday at the age of 71.
