Let’s see. A so-called powerful congressman threatens specifically named justices with an unspecified price if they continue to make decisions that he does not agree with, even though they have every legal right to make those decisions.
Are we serious that this is NOT a violation of the law, a violation of the separation of powers?

On Wednesday, Schumer seemed to threaten Republican Supreme Court justices. Schumer said, “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.”
After backlash grew larger, Schumer’s office claimed he was referring to a “political price” that Republicans would pay if the justices ruled against abortion advocates.
If this happened in another country, we would threaten to impose sanctions.
Congress has a legal method to follow if they disagree with the courts, legislate, write an appropriate law.
These Democrat’ leaders’ have been using inflammatory language for so long, they don’t know if from proper communication.
How does the left react to Justice John Roberts slamming Sen. Chuck Schumer’s threats? They immediately try to turn it around on the judge, saying he’s playing sides. I’m pretty sure Chief Justice Roberts was also the deciding vote on Obamacare. The left only let you speak if in agreement.
If Trump or a Republican senator said that about the liberal justices, Schumer would be howling, and so would the handmaiden media. Schumer then attempted to correct himself by saying, “It was a reference to the political price Senate Republicans will pay for putting these justices on the court, and a warning the justices will unleash a major grassroots movement on the issue of reproductive rights against the decision.”

But the video clearly shows him speaking directly to Justices Kavanaugh and Gorsuch. The House Ethics Committee should investigate his actions.
Did Senate Democrat leader Schumer just threaten two conservative justices? Where is the media?

Exactly what political price is that Chuckie, you going to impeach Supreme Court Justices for following their interpretation of the Constitution? What you said what a threat and if Pres. Trump made that same statement to the liberal justices; you can sure bet there would be another impeachment attempt.
During a Senate campaign, Alfonse D’Amato once famously said, “Everyone knows Shumer’s a putz,” Sadly, D’Amato lost, but at least, finally, everyone gets to see what Alphonse knew back then. By the way, isn’t publicly threatening a Supreme Court justice a federal crime?
The Democrats think they can threaten anyone they want to: even the Supreme Court Justices and the President. America lets answer back at the polls in the 2020 election and shows the left threats only make you lose power.
Roberts was correct, and Schumer should publicly apologize for his comments. It is inappropriate for the political branches to attack the judicial branch, and that is true regardless of whether the attack comes from a Republican or a Democrat, a liberal or a conservative.
The bottom line is that the Democrats are so lost, and haven’t had a major win in forever, they have lost their minds. It sure sounded like an open threat. At a minimum, a nationwide public apology is due; perhaps he should be charged for it. Oh, but wait, he is a Democrat, and the laws are not made for them.
