U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)- Democrat Minority leader in the Senate, Charles Schumer, publicly threatened justices of the Supreme Court today in front of the Supreme Court. The threats were recorded and published on Twitter.
The above tweet, with the recording, was published by Steve Scalise, Republican Whip in the House. Representative Scalise was nearly killed in an assassination attempt on Republican members of Congress by a Democrat follower of Bernie Sanders.
This is not the first time Democrat Senators have threatened the Supreme Court. On August 12, 2019, less than seven months ago, five Democrat senators, Sheldon Whitehouse, Mazie Hirono, Richard Blumenthal, Richard Durbin, and Kirsten Gillibrand, submitted an amici curae brief to the Supreme Court on the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. NYC case. The brief was very close to a direct threat to the court.
The Supreme Court is not well. And the people know it. Perhaps the Court can heal itself before the public demands it be “restructured in order to reduce the influence of politics.”Particularly on the urgent issue of gun control, a nation desperately needs it to heal.
The implication is obvious: Nice little Court you have there. Be a shame if something were to happen to it. Rule the way we want, and you may keep your Court.
Ever since the Franklin Delano Roosevelt administration, the court has become more and more politicized. The court has found rights no one ever knew existed, while studiously ignoring rights specifically protected in the Constitution, such as the Second Amendment. It has expanded federal power through the commerce clause to virtually every action in the United States, rendering the commerce clause meaningless. A federal government limit to regulate interstate commerce is meaningless when all activity is defined as interstate commerce, or, even more encompassing, affecting interstate commerce, and therefore subject to federal regulation.
Constitutionalists, believing in the necessity of the rule of law, have patiently worked to overcome the lobbying of Progressives, who do not believe themselves bound by the Constitution. Over decades, in the face of direct, obvious political opposition to the Constitutional rule of law by leftists, Constitutionalists have finally been able to have a bare majority of originalist and textualist justices appointed to the Supreme Court. This is the first time an originalist and textualist majority has existed on the court for at least 80 years.
This has enraged Senator Schumer and like-minded progressives, who apparently believe there should be no limits on government power, except what they create, based on their desire to remain in power.
Senatore Schumer believes the Constitution does not limit what infringements can be made on the right to keep and bear arms; he believes the federal government has the Constitutional power and authority to limit the laws the states may pass to regulate abortions.
Decades of judicial activism may be undone if the Constitution is faithfully interpreted and followed.
Second Amendment rights may finally be enforced by the Court.
Legal discrimination in favor of leftist groups could be ruled invalid under equal protection under the law.
States might be allowed to check voters for eligibility.
Illegal immigrants might be ruled as not entitled to more political favors than citizens.
Federal District courts might not be able to override presidential executive actions.
All of which means less power for leftist politicians.
In Senator Schumer's mind, such a result seems to be completely unacceptable.
Chief Justice Roberts felt compelled to respond to such a direct threat. From nationalreview.com:
“Justices know that criticism comes with the territory, but threatening statements of this sort from the highest levels of government are not only inappropriate, they are dangerous. All Members of the Court will continue to do their job, without fear or favor, from whatever quarter,” Roberts said.

Schumer Threatens Gorsuch, Kavanaugh on Abortion Case: “You Will Pay the Price”

Speaking to a group of pro-abortion protestors outside the U.S. Supreme Court, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) warned Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh that they would face severe consequences should they fail to rule the “correct” way on a challenge to a Louisiana abortion law that the court is currently hearing.
“I want to tell you Gorsuch. I want to tell you Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price,” Schumer told the rabid crowd on Wednesday.
“You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions,” Schumer added.
A Schumer spokesman said that his comments were a “reference to the political price” Republicans will pay for putting the two Trump nominees — Gorsuch and Kavanaugh — on the court.
But it sure sounded like a direct threat to Gorsuch and Kavanaugh.
In an extremely rare occurrence, Chief Justice John Roberts scolded the New York senator, calling his comments “dangerous.”
“Justices know that criticism comes with the territory, but threatening statements of this sort from the highest levels of government are not only inappropriate, they are dangerous. All Members of the Court will continue to do their job, without fear or favor, from whatever quarter,” Roberts said on Wednesday.
And as he is wont to do, President Trump took to Twitter to let his feelings be known on Schumer’s threat against the two justices: “This is a direct and 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.”
Some believe that Schumer was not just spouting off and saying something provocative to play to an abortion-friendly audience, but that he purposefully used such charged language because he wanted — perhaps even needed — strong reactions from the president and the GOP in order to make abortion a major campaign issue in 2020.
If true, the tactic sure worked, as numerous GOP congressmen and senators have called Schumer to task for his inflammatory language. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) plans to introduce a motion to censure Schumer in the Senate. And even pro-abortion GOP senator Susan Collins from Maine came to the Court’s defense on Twitter. “I agree with Chief Justice Roberts,” Collins wrote. “These statements by Senator Schumer are outrageous.”
Faced with the increased certainty that their nominee will be either avowed socialist Bernie Sanders or the doddering gaffe machine Joe Biden, the Democrats need to bolster their chances to keep the House of Representatives and retake the Senate. Not to mention somehow taking the presidency from Trump.
But what’s this Louisiana law that’s causing all the ruckus?
On Wednesday, the Supreme Court took up the case of June Medical Services LLC v. Russo, a case challenging a 2014 Louisiana law that requires physicians who perform abortions in the state to have admitting privileges at local hospitals — something many abortionists do not have.
Pro-abortion forces claim the law will effectively close all but one abortion clinic in the state. Roughly 10,000 abortions are performed per year in Louisiana.
Introduced by Democrat State Senator Katrina Jackson, the Unsafe Abortion Protection Act simply makes the abortion procedure subject to the same standard of other outpatient procedures. Jackson considers the bill “a health standard law” and believes that it is “very common sense.”
“Basically, Louisiana, unknowingly to us, had a lower standard of care for women who elected to have abortions in some places,” Jackson said. “And so what we did was make sure that the standard of health care that we established in Louisiana for years also applied to abortion.”
The law sure sounds innocuous enough. The case is not even a direct threat to Roe v. Wade, but a measure meant to ensure the safety of women who undergo medical procedures by “circuit riding” abortionists who pop into town for a night or two to do some abortions and are then on to the next town.
But the health of women (and the health of the unborn, for that matter) is not something that Schumer or his party have very much interest in. The Democrats have always believed that abortion is a winning issue for them, that’s all. And maybe that’s what Schumer wanted all along; something the party could point to in this election year besides their flailing and flawed presidential candidates.
The House of Representatives impeached President Trump on nothing more than a fairy tale whipped up by Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and a yet-to-be-named (officially) whistleblower. The least the GOP could do is censure the minority leader for his reckless and foolhardy threat against the judiciary.

Sen. Schumer: SCOTUS Justices Gorsuch, Kavanaugh ‘Won’t Know What Hit’ Them if They Restrict Abortion
EXCERPTS:
According to Fox News, Schumer’s office claimed that the senator’s words were “deliberately misinterpreted” by the “right wing.” It expressed disappointment that Roberts followed suit.
Schumer apologized in part on Thursday, stating that “I should not have used the words I used” and “[T]hey did not come out the way I intended to.”
He added, “My point was that there would be political consequences for President Trump and Senate Republicans if the Supreme Court, with the newly confirmed justices, stripped away a woman’s right to choose. Of course, I didn’t intend to suggest anything other than political and public opinion consequences for the Supreme Court, and it is a gross distortion to imply otherwise.”
“I’m from Brooklyn. We speak in strong language,” Schumer asserted. “I shouldn’t have used the words I did, but in no way was I making a threat. I never, never would do such a thing.”
