Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Chris Jansing Reports” that if President Donald Trump disobeyed a Supreme Court order, “extraordinary action will be necessary.”
Jansing said, “The Supreme Court said the administration must facilitate the return of Kilmer Abrego Garcia, who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador. That has not happened. Are we at the point, Senator, where you feel extraordinary action is warranted?”
Schumer said, “Look, the case will be back to the Supreme Court, they sent it down to the lower court judge. But if the president disobeys a Supreme Court order, extraordinary action will be necessary. We’ve never had that in the Republic before, in the kind of way that the president is doing it. And again, he doesn’t believe in democracy. He doesn’t believe there should be diversity of opinion. He doesn’t believe in due process. You can’t pick up someone off the streets and send them somewhere if you don’t have evidence, if you haven’t presented evidence against them, the country, the democracy is at risk.”
He added, “If the Supreme Court makes a final decision and Trump decides to disobey it, and it will be on all of us, not just the political leaders, but certainly us, but on all Americans to resist that. I think that would happen.”

Chuck is trying to save his own backside
He’s worried he will be primaried by AOC.
I sure would like to thank Chuckie for fighting for a non-criminal American citizen, Gonzalo Lira, who was murdered in dictator Zelenlsy’s gulag. Kudos to the State Department for purposely ignoring the whole situation. too. Double kudos to Victoria Nuland who was running Project Ukraine in the State Department.
That sounded like a threat to me.
The impeachment trap was set from day 1. That is, Jan. 20, 2017.
the interviewer brought up extraordinary measures without explaining what that means
talk about leading the witness
It would be worth that outcome to see Schumer gone
Yes, I think extraordinary actions need to be taken, but likely not how Chuckie is thinking. Problem is, once you take that extraordinary path, where do you go from there?
Yes, and I think it’s time the DOJ has a talk with him. About 5 years in Gitmo, might take the fire out of his heart.
Schumer is the poster boy for insurrection.
Jansing’s Question interprets the meaning of “Facilitate” differently than the interpretation of the White House and DOJ. Unless Scotus comes back with a more definite interpretation, the White House/DOJ position stands.
Maybe POTUS Trump pulls an Abraham Lincoln. Just maybe!!
‘Extraordinary Action Will Be Necessary’
_______________________________________________
Like what you impotent old buzzard?
Joe Biden set the precedent. Ill assume if I go look for quotes from around the time of the student debt cancellation debacle, Schumer will have said some very contradictory words.
Schumer had no problem threatening the Supreme Court himself…
Of course Schmucky was okeedokee with Brandon ignoring supreme court rulings. It’s too late to try and butcher up with your parties extremists, you’re toast.
“Schumer is sounding a bit insurrectiony”
He is saying the swamp is ready to issue a conviction vote in the Senate based on disobedience of a Supreme Court ruling. They will have enough votes for impeachment in the house, he is telegraphing he thinks they have the swamp RINOs oonboard in the Senate that is what he is saying. Swamp RINOs want him gone too. He needs to be careful ,even if it means publicly and officially asking for his release and return to the courts here. EL Salvador doesn’t have to let him go but the Supreme Court said the admin most try tn get him back. They can then deport him to a third party country after the lower courts rule on his asylum claims vs illegal presence charge. The prior deportation orders are invalid after the Supreme Court sent it back to the lower courts to adjudicate that nulls the prior lower courts.
Well, Schumer said the exact same thing when Biden ignored a SCOTUS order, about student loan debt, right?
You and what army, Schumer.
Or like response to the DEI ruling.
OK, THEN LET’’S GET THIS PARTY STARTED.
