Chief Justice John Roberts focused on judges' safety in his annual year-end report, following one of the Supreme Court's most tumultuous and consequential terms to date. | Threats against public officials on all levels of government have intensified in recent years and came to a head in 2022 after the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. ● The protests and security threats that followed the court's decision led to calls for greater security for judges and their families. ● President Biden signed a bipartisan bill that expanded security protection to Supreme Court justices' immediate family members in June, soon after a man was charged with the attempted murder of Justice Brett Kavanaugh after police arrested an armed suspect outside his home. ● Roberts did not specifically mention the abortion decision or the threats against his fellow conservative justices in his report, but rather spoke of the importance of security programs more generally.
