More than a month after the Senate unanimously passed a bill to provide security for the families of Supreme Court justices, the House has finally approved the measure:

The Senate passed the bill on May 9, less than a week after the leak of the draft Supreme Court opinion in the Dobbs case, which would overturn Roe v. Wade. But House Democrats dragged their feet for a month, ostensibly because they wanted to add funding for the security of Supreme Court clerks and staff (a provision that was not included in the bill that passed the House with overwhelming support).

On May 20, the second-ranking Democrat in the Senate said he was very concerned the House hadn’t taken up the legislation. Last week, an armed man carrying burglary tools was arrested outside of Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s home and charged with attempted murder. Police said the alleged would-be assassin told them he was upset about the the potential abortion ruling as well as other rulings on the Second Amendment.
