Democrat Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) continues to face intense backlash for threatening Supreme Court Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch on Wednesday as a member of the U.S. Senate has now announced he will introduce a measure to censure Schumer.
Sen. Josh Hawley’s (R-MO) office released the following statement:
Tonight U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) announced he will introduce a motion to censure U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) for inciting violence against U.S. Supreme Court Justices. In a pro-abortion rally in front of the Supreme Court today, Senator Schumer threatened Justices by name saying, “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.”
And now things just got even worse for Schumer, as Democrats are even slamming him now, and one even calling for him to step down as Minority Leader:

This guy Tribe was one.
Trump thought Schumer was going to be a great deal maker. He ended up a huge disappointment.
Roberts is the deciding vote. Will be interesting if he steps forward and is a man or a mouse.

Have we asked Linda what she thinks about this?
Posted this on another thread; fits here too:
Chuckie is not crazed and desperate, he is incredibly calculating. His target(s) was not Gorsich and Kavanaugh, it was John Roberts. He wanted to get his message out to John Roberts, the weakest link, the alleged conservative Chief Judge that really isn’t, appointed by Prez Bush and an anti-Trumper at heart, that any decision other than the “correct” liberal one is unacceptable.
Schumer couldn’t attack Roberts himself, as that is the man he wants to vote on the liberal side’s point of view re abortion. So, in order to get the message out publicly that the Supreme court is prejudiced against abortion advocates and will rule accordingly on abortion cases, he obliquely attacks the 2 other judges as a way to get the message to Roberts that in order to have the Court appear fair, he must vote with the liberals.
Otherwise the Court is stacked with tainted conservative judges, now that Gorsich and Kavanaugh have been appointed to the Court. Roberts can’t let that appearance of imbalance stand, as Judges are supposedly unbiased, don’t you know, and thus under cover of having seriously lambasted Schumer verbally, Roberts can now hide behind his stern statement and do just what Schumer wants him to do anyway.
A corrupt politician influences his patsy weakling Roberts, and Roberts uses his “tough” statement as cover to do what he really wants to do anyhow, which is to vote with the liberals in order to prove the Court really is unbiased. Roberts and Schumer are a mutual admiration society, both using Schumer’s verbal attack to reach their respective ends, thus guaranteeing the outcome they both really want. A liberal, malleable and loose interpretation of the Constitution, rather than a strict constructionist approach. Roberts is no strict constructionist, and Chuckie knows it. Mission accomplished by Chuckie. Roberts will vote accordingly.
That ANTI-CHRISTIAN, NO CLASS Jew was egging on women that KILLTHEIR OWN CHILDREN!! Who thinks they wouldn’t KILL THESE JUDGES!!
I think some of them are realizing how bad their optics are starting to look even to a portion of their base.
What no one seems to realize is he did this during a protest on the grounds of the Supreme Court. Schumer just gave that wild left wing the orders to follow and when to execute those orders. It is a very naziesque incident to incite serious violence against the Court.
Schumer needs to not only experience censure and step down, but needs to cool his heels in a jail cell. His immediate removal from office is appropriate.
It is also important to consider this is a distraction at a time when our west coast is under States of Emergency. The democrats are just throwing and piling on until the Trump administration misses something. Frankly, they are the party of treason to the American people.
WE, WE are going to have to remove them from office and ultimately disband the party for the sake of the nation.
Democrats are LAW-LESS because Republicans are BALL-LESS!!
When you’re censured, there’s no acquittal. You are censured forever.
AOC?
So what Democrat is calling for his removal?
Very good piece. I can agree with this position but, I would add the following:
Roberts may not be in TOTAL lock-step after this intimidation. His ObamaCare decision has always been viewed skeptically; he simply legislated from the bench. Many on the right believe that decision was the result of intimidation tactics, also. Because his children are adults, that weapon may have lost its potency.
I do agree, tho, that Roberts is not an originalist.
Tom Styer’s former chief of staff, Jimmy Williams..
Schumer has been allowed to say whatever he wants for so long, he doesn’t know when he goes too far.
The bastard should be arrested. Then again, no one in DC has been arrested in my lifetime. Even Trump is afraid to support the rule of law in that town. William Barr is Jeff Sessions 2.0. Pathetic.
Not fake, just misleading. The names are in the article. Lawrence Tribe and Jonathan Turley. Attorneys. Neither are elected Dems. I bet you could find some dems at the grocery who would slam Schumer. None of the elected dems don't have the balls so far.
step down and resign or be ejected from Senate.
No more MR Nice Guy and letting these leftists get away with their evil.
