Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett told a House subcommittee on Tuesday that “the threat level” against her and other federal judges “is really high” as she testified about the high court’s budget request.

“Those statistics sound abstract, but being on the receiving end of them is not,” Barrett told the panel.

Barrett, who was testifying with Justice Elena Kagan, also told the panel about being given a bulletproof vest by her security after a leak to a news outlet about an opinion that reversed the Supreme Court’s decision that had said there was a constitutional right to abortion.

Barrett also discussed having recently been the target of a “swatting” attack, in which a caller falsely told police that there had been a shooting and raised voices in her home.
