Chief Justice of the United States John Roberts on Wednesday issued a highly unusual and forceful rebuke to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., calling his seemingly threatening remarks directed at Associated Justices Neal Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh "irresponsible" and "dangerous" -- prompting Schumer's office to slam Roberts and accuse him of bias.
The extraordinary back-and-forth began hours earlier at a pro-choice rally hosted by the Center for Reproductive Rights, when Schumer ominously singled out President Trump's two Supreme Court picks: "I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price!" Schumer warned. "You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions."
"This morning, Senator Schumer spoke at a rally in front of the Supreme Court while a case was being argued inside," Roberts said in his remarkable written statement, obtained by Fox News. "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."
Schumer spokesman Justin Goodman quickly responded by accusing Roberts of bias
[…] “For Justice Roberts to follow the right wing’s deliberate misinterpretation of what Sen. Schumer said, while remaining silent when President Trump attacked Justices Sotomayor and Ginsberg last week, shows Justice Roberts does not just call balls and strikes.” […]

Schmuky is going off the deep end.
There ya go Chuck, and thanks!
Drive Roberts right to back to our side!
SEN. SCHUMER should be censored by the SENATE for his threats and disregard to the rebuke by JUSTICE ROBERTS.
He certainly doesn’t appear to be afraid of legal repercussions.
Dems getting twisted. They have nada.
Schumer spokesman Justin Goodman is a lying scumbag - which is of course a requirement for the position.
Now CJ Roberts will send Chucky to his room. After dinner and drinks of course.
In 2017 Schumer warns Trump: Intel officials ‘have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you’...
What would you have the CJ do - challenge him to a duel?
What Roberts is really trying to say is..
“Hey Schmuckie, keep it up and I’ll pretend to get mad at you as a head fake to keep these 2 clowns Gorsuch and Kavanaugh from figuring out that I’m really under obama’s leash”
One can only hope.
I would say that the Fed’s have all they need to put him on no guns list. At this point he should not be able to pass a federal background test. And if NY had any integrity then they would use there red flags laws to take away any fire arms that he might have.
Shumer is such a rat.
Censure would be appropriate. I have no faith in the Senate, however.
He admitted that he does neither.
He admitted that under his watch, the intelligence agencies intimidate legislative processes and that he is afraid og the monsters he funds via budgets every year and hides in fear.
What would you have the CJ do - challenge him to a duel?
Really?
Separation of power. Balance of government. etc. etc. etc.
Use the powers granted by the U.S. Constitution and our Declaration of Independence.
Do not be Obtuse.
This, and Pelosi ripping up PT’s speech are great ads.
