Justices Elena Kagan and Amy Coney Barrett made their case to a pair of panels in the House and Senate for increased security funding for the Supreme Court, but they also fielded other questions about their work during their rare jaunt to Congress.

The Supreme Court’s security, emergency docket, code of ethics, and leaks were among the topics asked about by members of both the House Appropriations Committee and the Senate Appropriations Committee in separate hearings held hours apart. Kagan and Barrett offered a rare opportunity for lawmakers to question sitting justices fresh off their recently concluded term, which included several closely watched cases, but the Supreme Court’s request for increased security funds was the main reason for their appearance.
