Democrats Triple Down on Threatening the Supreme Court
Yesterday Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer directly threatened Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh on the steps of the Supreme Court.
“I want to tell you Justice Kavanaugh and Justice Gorsuch: You have unleashed a whirlwind, and you will pay the price,” Schumer said to a pro-abortion crowd.

After Chief Justice John Roberts berated Schumer for his remarks, calling them “dangerous,” Schumer doubled down with a statement that doesn’t reflect the facts and proceeded to attack Roberts.
What a crock this is. Here is Schumer’s quote: “I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.” https://t.co/zGljjhMszn

Schumer tries to argue that he wasn’t attacking Gorsuch and Kavanaugh by attacking Roberts. https://t.co/a11yjshZ14

As the architect of an 80-case barrage of partisan, 5-4 decisions for big Republican donor interests, Chief Justice Roberts has zero credibility playing umpire in any political squabble.https://t.co/1Z5dOl9fjn

The things that John Roberts decides to get upset about are very, very telling https://t.co/XY8nrOlUR6

Schumer called out Kavanaugh and Gorsuch, who both paid lip service to respecting precedent in order to get confirmed by the Senate. If they vote to overturn the Whole Women's Health ruling from 2016, they ought to expect a backlash not just from senators, but the public
