Because they know it is drek and did not want it to show on their nice congressional ties.
Pro-abortion/right-to-murder crowd is the most hateful ever.
Nope, a 30 oz. aluminum bat and drive the “ball” deep to center...
It might be a good idea to suspend anti-murder laws for a year or two. Freedom of choice.
Scmuck tried to justify his remarks by saying Justice Roberts did not say anything to Trump...but trump only said that two heavily biased justices should recuse themselves. The senator’s words went FAR beyond that.
It qualifies as a legal threat...
There are three elements of the offense of making an illegal threat:
(i) there must be a transmission in interstate commerce [Schumer’s words were transmitted by video, radio, blogs].
(ii) there must be a communication containing the threat [Schumer in front of crowd with a microphone and cameras].
(iii) and the threat must be a threat to injure the person of another:
“You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You will not know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.” -Chuck Schumer 3/4/2020
What would “you would pay the price” can a sitting senator do to a sitting Supreme Court Justice? “You will not know what hit you” IS A THREAT and “if you go forward with these awful decisions” is obstruction of justice.
Threats can also sometimes be punished under the statutes criminalizing assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain United States Government officers or employees or assassinating, kidnapping, and assaulting government officials of the United States.
When a threat is made against a judge, it can be considered obstruction of justice [18 U.S.C. § 1503].
FBI: Arrests made in ‘violent extremist group’ investigation involving Arizona
What’s to keep one of these kooks from acting “on Schumer’s behalf” upon hearing his blatent threats?
Schumer is a sly fox and doesn't "make mistakes" like he's claiming he did. He knows just what he's doing...and so does sly fox Justice Roberts.
This was all choreographed....and folks don't realize it.

Good point.
