For the second year in a row, U.S. Supreme Court justices have met with members of the House of Representatives behind closed doors to discuss the court’s annual budget request, which includes a request for a small funding increase.
Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg confirmed that Justices Anthony Kennedy and Stephen Breyer met on March 22 at the court with Rep. Tom Graves, R-Georgia, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee’s subcommittee on financial services and general government, and Rep. Mike Quigley, D-Illinois, ranking minority party member. The subcommittee oversees the high court’s budget.
