The Supreme Court on Monday rejected a challenge from three House Republicans who were fined for not going through security scanners before entering the chamber following the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Rep. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., calls for impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, during a news conference on Capitol Hill, Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2023, in Washington.
The high court declined Monday to get involved without comment, rejecting the Republicans’ case. It would have taken four justices to vote in favor of hearing the dispute for oral arguments to have been scheduled. The lawmakers who were fined argued that the reduction violates the 27th Amendment for “varying” their pay. The 27th Amendment governs when laws setting the pay for lawmakers can be implemented.
