Elena Kagan: “The Capitol Police Chief recently testified that threats against Congress are up 50% this year.”

These statements are really unhelpful, they are dangerous in terms of individual justices’ security and they’re not appropriate in the way to treat a coordinate branch of government.

When political figures of any stripe are trying to intimidate judges and justices to do things that they like, rather than the things that they don’t, that’s where we really have crossed the line.

We are, as we have said many times before, ‘a court of review, not of first view.’

I think as we have done more and more on this emergency docket, there becomes a real responsibility that I think we didn't recognize when we first started down this road, to explain things better.
