Supreme Court Justices Elena Kagan and Amy Coney Barrett will appear before a congressional subcommittee next Tuesday. This hearing is notable as such instances of justices testifying before a coequal branch of government are uncommon.
Their upcoming testimony comes shortly after the conclusion of a significant and divisive term for the court. This appearance is scheduled before the subcommittee in charge of approving court funding.
