Cruz and Booker Clash over Supreme Court Justice Safety
- Senators Ted Cruz and Corey Booker engaged in a heated exchange on Tuesday while discussing measures to protect Supreme Court justices in response to growing threats against them.
- The hearing focused on the increase in federal judges blocking President Trump's executive orders through broad injunctions, with Cruz referencing demonstrations that followed the Supreme Court's 2022 ruling that reversed Roe v. Wade.
- Cruz accused the Biden administration of disregarding threats and supporting protesters targeting Supreme Court justices, while Booker challenged these allegations by labeling them false and highlighting legislation that provides security protections for the families of the justices, also criticizing Cruz for his perceived double standards.
- Specifically, Cruz said no Democrat senator held Attorney General Garland accountable and claimed the administration desired harassment, which Booker labeled a "patent lie" and noted security measures to protect justices' families.
- The exchange highlights partisan tensions over judicial safety amid controversial court rulings, with threats against federal judges increasing sharply since Trump’s second term and calls for stronger enforcement of protections continuing.
