<p>For the third time, GOP House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy requested Monday unanimous consent to expedite the passage of a security bill to protect the Supreme Court justices.</p>
<p>McCarthy emphasized that &#8220;there is no reason&#8221; to delay the <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/4160">proposal</a>, asking for immediate consideration in the House.</p>
<p>His request was declined.</p>
<p>&#8220;I do not understand why we would risk that,&#8221; McCarthy said in remarks Monday afternoon, pointing out that the bill was introduced more than a month ago. &#8220;I do not understand why you&#8217;ll make sure that the Capitol is protected right now knowing that something could happen&#8230;or something could happen at the Supreme Court this week, but you won&#8217;t protect those justices.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">For the 3rd time in a week, I&#39;m calling for a vote for stronger security for Supreme Court Justices—ALL of them. This isn&#39;t partisan. The threat is real. Why is Speaker Pelosi blocking something that the Senate has already passed unanimously? <a href="https://t.co/rz11LysiS0">https://t.co/rz11LysiS0</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Kevin McCarthy (@SpeakerMcCarthy) <a href="https://twitter.com/SpeakerMcCarthy/status/1536379321966661633?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 13, 2022</a></p></blockquote>
<p>McCarthy also drew on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi&#8217;s Thursday <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pelosi-denies-request-to-immediately-pass-scotus-security-bill-house-will-vote-next-week">claim</a> that “the justices are protected,&#8221; a remark that came only a few days after authorities arrested a man near <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/supreme-court">Supreme Court</a> Justice <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/brett-kavanaugh">Brett Kavanaugh</a>‘s home who allegedly said he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/police-arrest-armed-man-near-brett-kavanaughs-home-who-allegedly-wanted-to-kill-the-justice-report">wanted to kill</a> the justice.</p>
<p>&#8220;This issue is not about the justices, it’s about staff and the rest,&#8221; Pelosi said, explaining why the House would be voting on the Supreme Court security bill the following week. &#8220;The justices are protected; you saw the attorney general even double down on that.”</p>
<p>&#8220;How can you make that statement the same week?&#8221; demanded McCarthy, adding that Pelosi&#8217;s statement &#8220;makes no sense.&#8221;</p>
<p>The GOP leader warned Democrats that if they change the Supreme Court security bill, sending it back to the Senate instead of passing it, &#8220;the country will know why.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Cause if you change the bill and move it back to the Senate, you&#8217;re trying to kill it,&#8221; he said, emphasizing that every senator had voted for the security bill. &#8220;You&#8217;re trying to delay it. That&#8217;s exactly what you&#8217;re doing.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;If you think something else needs to be added, run it by itself,&#8221; he added. &#8220;I think you&#8217;re jeopardizing people&#8217;s lives. I think you&#8217;re jeopardizing the safety of the Supreme Court.&#8221;</p>
<p>Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn introduced the Supreme Court security bill on May 5 following the leak of a majority opinion draft indicating the justices would likely overturn <em>Roe v. Wade</em>.</p>
<p>The bill passed the Senate without amendment by unanimous consent on May 9 and has been stalled ever since.</p>
<p>House Democrats reportedly <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/house-democrats-stall-measure-boosting-security-scotus-justices-bill-law-clerks">want the bill</a> to include protection for clerks and other Supreme Court staffers.</p>
<p>When House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) asked House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) last week why leading Democrats had not put the bill to a vote, Hoyer responded that this was a “very relevant question.”</p>
<p>“Hopefully can move that as early as possible,” he said, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/09/politics/supreme-court-security-legislation-house-vote-pelosi/index.html">according</a> to CNN. “I want to tell the gentleman the reason he thought that it might be moving this morning was because last night I thought I had after discussions with Sen. Cornyn, a way forward both the Senate and the House could agree on. Unfortunately this morning that appeared not to be the case.”</p>
<p>Pelosi did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Wire.</p>
