The U.S. House of Representatives passed a Supreme Court security bill yesterday, sending it to President Joe Biden for his signature, Bloomberg Law reports. The vote on the bill was 396 to 27. The Senate passed the Supreme Court Police Parity Act in May. The measure would authorize police protection for families of Supreme Court justices and for staff of the court if the court’s marshal decides it is necessary. Today, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said the Justice Department supports the legislation and the White House said the president would sign the bill into law, according to Reuters.
