Mitch McConnell enraged that Democrats want SCOTUS security for 'nameless staff that no one knows'
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., on Monday expressed outrage at the House's unwillingness to pass a Senate-approved bill designed to shore up security for the Supreme Court after a failed assassination attempt against conservative Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
"The version of the Supreme Court security bill that apparently [the Democrats are] going to try to pass on suspension tonight is not going to pass the Senate," McConnell told reporters this week. "The security issue is related to Supreme Court justices, not nameless staff that no one knows."
McConnell's comments come weeks after the Senate passed a bill in May to enhance the Supreme Court's security detail amid pro-choice protests in the wake of a report that the court would vote to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark law establishing America's constitutional right to abortion.
On Monday, the Senate-backed bill did not appear on the House's schedule, leaving Republicans frustrated by the delay.
