At a pro-choice rally near the Supreme Court, Chuck Schumer threatened both Supreme Court justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh in an effort to intimidate them regarding Louisiana’s abortion law:Of course by the end of the video, you see that prompted the Chief Justice to respond:
“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.”
Schumer's spokes-idiot tried making excuses, saying Republicans are misinterpreting what he said. No, Schumer’s threats were as plain as plain can be. He wasn't talking in generalities, he specifically targeted SCOTUS justices, and it was appropriate for the Chief Justice to respond, just as it was for the President to call Schumer out on it...
...and just as appropriate for Senate Republicans to now seek censure!This is a direct & dangerous threat to the U.S. Supreme Court by Schumer. If a Republican did this, he or she would be arrested, or impeached. Serious action MUST be taken NOW! https://t.co/WqQUbyzaJU— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 5, 2020There can be few things worse in a civilized, law abiding nation, than a United States Senator openly, and for all to see and hear, threatening the Supreme Court or its Justices. This is what Chuck Schumer just did. He must pay a severe price for this!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) March 5, 2020
This is exactly what Senate Republicans need to do and I hope McConnell doesn’t get soft and put the kibosh on it. It’s too serious to do nothing about it.Expect Schumer to get a complete pass from the MSM. However, the next Republican to be interviewed by a member of the so-called free press needs to bring it up and confront them with such dangerous language. Just imagine if this had been a Republican Senator talking about Sotomayor and Ginsburg!

WATCH: Schumer Pushes Video Of His Abortion Speech, Leaves Out Threat To Gorsuch, Kavanaugh
ADDENDUM: Levin was spot on in his assessment last night...
Reacting to the public threats Schumer made Wednesday, in which the senator singled out for retribution the two justices by name, Levin tweeted that Schumer’s “loathsome conduct” has endangered the justices and attempted to coerce them.McConnell went to the Senate floor this morning, condemning Schumer for threatening both Gorsuch and Kavanaugh yesterday.
Schumer’s comments are especially egregious, given that he is both a lawyer and a Senate Democrat leader, Levin wrote, calling for the American Bar Association, the Senate and the Justice Department to take action:
2. Schumer should be sanctioned by the Bar, admonished by the Senate, investigated by the Senate ethics committee, and even reviewed by the DOJ. No individual, let alone the Senate Democrat leader, who is also a lawyer, should escape accountability for his loathsome conduct.— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) March 5, 2020
Undoubtedly, Schumer should be censured, but also as Levin suggests, he should be disbarred and have ethics charges filed against him for such threatening language. And speaking of the latter...WOW!
Landmark Legal Foundation has asked the Senate Ethics Committee to investigate and sanction Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for his outrageous and deadly serious threats against U.S. Supreme Court justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. Read our complaint here.Will the Senate and ABA follow suit, past the lip service, to ACT?!
