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 wont 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 wings 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. [

I still say it’s “Shroomer”...
Its smoke and mirrors. Roberts has been Obamas boy since the arsehole gave his first state of the union address. Roberts is owned.
Yes, it really meant “Gosh gee whillickers, it would be peachy keen if you let expectant women continue to murder their babies. It’s just...neato.”
Arm the good judge with a 45-calibre Judge and have at it.
Of course, the proper load for each cartridge is buckshot.
At ten paces, it should be a done deal.
The left has Roberts by the short and curlies.
Democrats are LAW-LESS because Republicans are BALL_LESS!
Sounds like Chucky is playing the refs.
Just curious...If I or any other citizen makes the same comment in a public forum regarding a sitting SINator, how many black suits would be on our doorstep to have a discussion?
That would be nice.
Democrat Chuck Schumer threatens judges on the Supreme Court?
Well, that’s like a lot of traitorous Democrats these days. They hate the U.S.A.
Schumer has NO CLASS...NO MANNERS...RUDE, CRUDE and DISGUSTING....he must have been raised by WOLVES!
Game of knockout would be fine by me.
[Have the Marshall service round him up and throw him in prison for threatening judges.]
Works for me
We can hope
Typical behavior of the left to pressure whoever they target when the heats up.
Obvious no one is off limits for attacks by the lefts leadership when it comes to inteferring with their death squads.
I'm trying to think of a downside to that...
.
Gee, the Chief Justice is standing up to a liberal to get
some conservative street cred, I wonder why.....
Lt, raise the sell-out threat level to “Yellow”
Leftist loser lunatics of all stripes are somewhat entertaining in an odd way (similar to a 1950’s carnival freak show). However, I think there would more “entertainment” in seeing these uncivil, criminal cretins brought to Justice. That is the least what they deserve.
Thats way too easy on this piece of crap
He should be thrown in jail to rot he isnt worthy to be an American a senator Or anything
Well he’s indicated before the Intelligence Community is in the lefts pockets so he has no reason to fear legal repercussions. The Demorat party is like Costa Nostra.
I’d be up for expulsion given his lifetime ‘achievements.’
