Justice Clarence Thomas cites increased threats to Supreme Court

"The Supreme Court is asking for more federal security funds, citing as one reason the “volume” of threats it receives.

• Justice Clarence Thomas told a House Appropriations subcommittee on Thursday that the court wants money for 12 additional police officers, although security personnel want 24 ideally. Thomas said the court was considering the nation’s broader fiscal difficulties in asking for only 12.

He said the court has only one person dedicated to threat assessment....

• Thomas said the court was making the request “with some reluctance” but that the court’s security personnel felt a strong need after conducting a review. The review came after the justices were asked specifically about security needs at last year’s funding hearing."...from The Hill, 4/15, via Drudge Report
