Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) attacked Chief Justice John Roberts and issued a warning to the Court in a statement released by his spokesman Justin Goodman Wednesday afternoon in response to Roberts rebuking Schumer for threatening Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh at a pro-choice protest rally in front of the Supreme Court building Wednesday morning while inside the justices heard arguments on a Louisiana abortion law case, June Medical Services LLC v. Russo.
Schumer had screamed his threat, “I want to tell you, Gorsuch! And 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 continues to face intense backlash for iresponsible actions. A member of the U.S. Senate has now indicated that he intends to introduce a measure to censure Schumer.
Sen. Josh Hawley’s (R-MO) office released the following statement:
“Now @chuckschumer is threatening Supreme Court Justices personally, to the point of implying their physical safety is endangered. Disgusting, shameful, and frankly, WEAK,” Hawley wrote on Twitter. “I would call on Schumer to apologize, but we all know he has no shame. So tomorrow I will introduce a motion to censure Schumer for his pathetic attempt at intimidation of #SupremeCourt.”

Roberts replied in his remarkable written statement, obtained by Fox News: “This morning, Senator Schumer spoke at a rally in front of the Supreme Court while a case was being argued inside. Senator Schumer referred to two Members of the Court by name and said he wanted to tell them that ‘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.’”
Roberts continued: “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.” [Fox News]
There are also two public Democrats, Jimmy Williams, a senior adviser to Tom Steyer and liberal law professor Lawrence Tribe, who are also slamming Schumer’s threats:

nothing will happen to chucky. this will fade in the wind in a matter of days.
“You won’t know what hit you” is not a reference to impeachment, which can be seen coming from afar.
schumer needs to step down and more...
Oh how I hope that you are correct. However since Schumer is part of the political elite, I seriously doubt that anything will happen to him. Unfortunately we are slowly losing our Country to these fools!
I saw Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) on TV last night and I was very disappointed in the way he almost criticized Schumer - almost. Having heard some of the things he’s said about impeachment, Pelosi, Schiff and Nadler, and how he said them, I’m convinced every one of those old bastards has something on the others.
Where’s Mitch McConnell...?
he MIGHT come out and give a weak apology
—
He is blaming President Trump
Too arrogant to apologize.
Okay,,,double on down then.
Schumer IS an employee of yours, and MINE!
Now, of course, I didn’t vote for him, but he is a member of Congress, and thus, in theory, works for EVERY American citizen.
And his blatant threat against Kavanaugh and Horsuch is not only an attack on the judiciary, but on our CONSTITUTIONAL (and, thanks be to God, still FREE) REPUBLIC!
Make that Gorsuch.
What he said translates (in part) to “If you interfere with our killing of inconvenient babies”...
Putting it another way, here’s what I heard from Schumer:
“If you don’t vote the way I want, we will do to you what we did to Antonin Scalia.”
Ye Gods! Hide the children! A strongly-worded letter approacheth!
How about just sewing Schumer's mouth shut with bailing wire? Much more satisfying.
Think he might be "bearded"?
If a citizen of the US-any of us had said this or any of the things these dems get away with, we would be hauled in for questioning and prosecuted. Maxine incited violence and so has Schumer yet nothing happens to them. Everyone needs to call their Senator and request his removal.
I hope so,but he’s a dem and therefore untouchable.
Republicans continue to sit around like cows watching a passing train. MOO!
The way the headline reads, I was expecting to see Democrat members of Congress calling for Schumer to step down. It's really irrelevant that two inconsequential people who happen to be considered Democrats are being critical.
When Democrat members of Congress, especially Democrat Senators criticize Schumer, I might pay attention.
