US Supreme Court seeks $19.4m federal funding for enhanced security, including justices' home protection by its own police force.

The proposal, part of an online budget request, aims to fund the Supreme Court and other areas of the federal judiciary, with $13.6m designated for the court's police to take over protection duties for justices' homes.
