HUNT VALLEY, Md. (TNND) — The Supreme Court asked Congress earlier this year for a $20 million budget increase. 

Next week, Justices Elena Kagan and Amy Coney Barrett will tell the House why they deserve such a hike. The pair plans to testify before an appropriations subcommittee next Tuesday, when the women will explain their $228 million request.

Judicial testimony has become rare in recent years. The last time members of the high court spoke in a congressional hearing was 2019, when Justices Samuel Alito and Kagan met with the Financial Services and General Government panel.
