                     SUPREME COURT JUSTICE SECURITY

  (Mr. ROSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROSE. Mr. Speaker, the United States is a nation of laws, not mob 
rule. Whoever leaked a draft opinion of Dobbs v. Jackson broke the law 
and did great damage to the integrity of our judicial institutions.
  In the 5 weeks following the leak, protesters have taken to the 
streets of Justices' homes to intimidate and harass them for fulfilling 
their constitutional duty to interpret the law, and even one deranged 
individual plotted to assassinate Justice Kavanaugh.
  Because of this, I am dumbfounded by the Speaker's refusal on three 
separate occasions to allow a vote to provide protections for the 
Justices and their families.
  Finally, more than 1 month after the Senate passed the bill by 
unanimous consent, we were able to hold a vote today. It took way too 
long, but, thankfully, it wasn't too late.
