U.S. Rep. Raúl Grijalva speaks at the Grand Canyon on Saturday, Feb. 23, 2019. Grijalva, D-Arizona, was at the Grand Canyon to announce his Grand Canyon Centennial Protection Act, which would permanently ban uranium mining near the Grand Canyon.
Rep. Raúl Grijalva was one of the 27 Democrats who voted against a bill that would augment security for Supreme Court justices.
The bill, which already has passed the Senate and President Joe Biden has indicated he would sign, passed the House Tuesday on a 396-27 vote.
The legislation would expand security to the justice’s immediate relatives. A prior House version of the bill also included security for the staffers of Supreme Court justices, which Senate Republicans opposed.
Their exclusion from protection, Grijalva said, is why he voted against the bill.
