Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell plans to admonish Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for appearing to threaten two Supreme Court justices over their rulings on abortion-related cases.
The minority leader of the United States Senate threatened two associate justices of the U.S. Supreme Court. Period, McConnell plans to say in a Senate floor speech later this morning, a GOP aide told the Washington Examiner.
Schumer, on Wednesday, said he was not threatening Justices Neil Gorsuch or Brett Kavanaugh when he appeared on the steps of the high court to participate in a rally on reproductive rights. He said at the rally: "I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You wont know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions."
The New York Democrats warning prompted a rare response from Chief Justice John Roberts, who issued a statement declaring the threats inappropriate and dangerous, particularly because they came from a high-level government official.

(3,180 posts)Senator Schumer would have been better advised to use different wording. To the average person, it appeared to be a threat.
