Republican Senator Susan Collins issued a stark warning during a congressional hearing on Supreme Court security, arguing that inflammatory political rhetoric against justices could incite violence. Speaking as lawmakers debated increasing the Supreme Court's security budget, Collins criticized attacks on the judiciary from public officials across the political spectrum. She specifically referenced remarks made by then-Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer outside the Supreme Court in 2020, saying such comments contribute to a dangerous climate for the nation's highest court. Collins said personal and political attacks on justices erode public confidence in the judiciary and warned that "overheated language" could ultimately trigger acts of violence. Her remarks came as Supreme Court justices described a sharp rise in threats against themselves and their families while seeking additional security funding. Watch the full exchange from the hearing. #SusanCollins #ChuckSchumer #Supreme
