If Donald Trump can be impeached for urging peaceful protest at the Capitol, why isn’t Chuck Schumer being impeached for far, far worse rhetoric aimed at intimidating members of the Supreme Court he specifically named into voting his way. I mean morally, because obviously The Dems use impeachment to score political points, not as a serious remedy for misbehavior as those dead white males, the Founders, intended.
The invaluable Molly Hemingway of The Federalist remembers Schumer’s call for insurrection:
Less than one year ago, Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York led a mob on the steps of the Supreme Court while a case was being heard and tried to thwart the natural deliberation of justices by violently threatening two of them to rule in favor of his and other Democrats’ preferred outcome.
“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,” Schumer threatened the two most recently confirmed justices, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.
The threat was so alarming that even leftist activists such as Laurence Tribe condemned it. Schumer received a rare, same-day rebuke from Chief Justice John Roberts, who said, “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.”
Then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell condemned Schumer’s remarks as “astonishingly reckless and completely irresponsible.” However, Sen. Josh Hawley’s efforts to censure Schumer for his violent threats were scuttled.

Levin explained to host Sean Hannity [last night on FNC’s Hannity] that Schumer’s rhetoric led to protesters attempting to storm the Supreme Court building in Washington, D.C.
“[I] want to talk quickly about Chuck Schumer — you mentioned it,” Levin said. “He threatened two U.S. Supreme Court justices. He threatened the Supreme Court. He assembled a mob on the stairs of a Supreme Court that tried to break into the Supreme Court, but for that 13-foot bronze door there. And he warns those justices that they are, in fact, in for hell if they don’t vote the way he wants. He threatened the Supreme Court. He used the Kavanaugh hearings him as Mollie Hemingway so brilliantly wrote, ‘to convene a mob, to disrupt hearings.'”
“Who the hell does this clown, Schumer, think he is?” Levin continued. “Stomping all over the Constitution with a 50-50 vote in the Senate, trying to impose his will on the American people, on the whole country, and now going to have a rogue trial? He’s the one that should be on trial and all the other reprobates that have for decades been threatening the American people and making outrageous comments to try to stir up and create fringies among their own base.”

I think we all know the answer to questions such as this.
Since Schumer is a good Democrat, the media will never hold him to the same standard as they hold Trump. Fiery rhetoric spewed by a Democrat is ok. Fiery rhetoric from a Republican, especially from Trump, is cause for a crucifixion.
So what? Nothing will go further....it’s all just news fodder they are all shooting out there for the publics consumption......stay engaged and they’ll feed another meal before the day is over.
Chuckie was speaking on behalf of ALL elected DC politicians.
His point was: “Newbies, get IN LINE with the establishment or ELSE.”
And the entirety of DC stood behind him and said - “Amen!”
This war isn’t left vs. right or democrat vs. republican;
It’s GOVERNMENT vs. we CITIZENS.
And I have been saying since that day that he should be Arrested, Charged, Prosecuted ....
Chuck Schumer’s cousin Amy Schumer was arrested at the insurrection during the Kavanaugh hearings.
Even Mark Levin should know that it isn’t a crime when a Leftist congresscritter does it.
D*mn straight time to censure and impeach these Marxist rescals!!!
Sounds like a job for Marjorie
Ping!
Maxine Waters does it almost daily.
“Who the hell does this clown, Schumer, think he is?”
That’s the question every sane person asks his tribe is just as bad.
So many things to remember.......add this to the long, long list of Democrats NEVER BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE for their words of sedition, breaking the law, lying and insurrection. THIS is just another one of many comments that brought Americans to DC on January 6th. The Dems WANT TO MAKE IT ABOUT TRUMP, IT NEVER WAS, IT IS ABOUT THEM! WE should have stayed.
D*mn straight time to censure and impeach these Marxist rescals!!!

There is no Constitutional mechanism for the impeachment and removal of Representatives and Senators. (Although the dems seem to think that the 14th Amendment offers such a path). They can be expelled by their house with a 2/3rds vote of the members. Schumer, Waters, Omar et. al. can rest easy.
I want Trump’s legal team to play a video of Schumer threatening Gorsuch and Kavanaugh in March 2020 that they will “pay a price” if they didn’t vote his way on a pending Supreme Court case (contesting the constitionality of the Lousiana Unsafe Abortion Protection Act) during Trump’s second impeachment trial.
Imagining that President Trump’s senate trial is Silent, but for a video loop of Schumer-style Democrats incitement speeches, juxtaposed against Trump’s remarks and tone, on 6 January.
Because Democrats act on, investigate and bring charges (legal or otherwise) against their targets.
Republicans... well, they write strongly worded responses.
He wasn't speaking on behalf of ALL Democrats, only the ones that didn't condemn what he said...
So, he must have been speaking for all Democrats.
