George Conway, the anti-Trump husband of Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway, admonished Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., for his comments this week allegedly threatening two Supreme Court justices, saying that his Thursday apology "isn't enough." In a Washington Post op-ed, Conway broadly condemned Schumer's comments a day earlier outside the court building. Schumer was at an abortion rally and said Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch had "released the whirlwind" and would "pay the price." "You won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions," he said.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), speaking on the Senate floor Thursday morning, rebuked Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) for threatening two Supreme Court justices by name. A short time later, Schumer defended himself, denying any intention to threaten: "I'm from Brooklyn," he said. "We speak in strong language."

“If, then, the courts of justice are to be considered as the bulwarks of a limited Constitution against legislative encroachments, this consideration will ­afford a strong argument for the permanent tenure of judicial offices,” argued Alexander Hamilton in Federalist No. 78. If we needed a pristine example of why justices are bestowed lifetime appointments and shielded from the intimidation tactics of unethical politicians, Sen. Chuck Schumer has now provided us with one. Speaking to pro-abortion protesters in front of the Supreme Court this week, the Senate minority leader threatened — there’s no other way to put it — two sitting...

Josh Hawley (R-MO) introduced a resolution on Thursday, along with 14 Senate Republicans, to censure Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) for threatening Supreme Court Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch.

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-MN, took to Twitter Wednesday with some very accusatory Tweets. She suggested two SCOTUS Judges of being “accused sexual predators” and then stated that abortion was a Constitutional right. “Two accused sexual predators should not be deciding whether or not women have access to healthcare in this country,” she said. She is allegedly referring to unproven and false claims against Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas. Her statements were met with backlash from people around the country. Moreover, Omar’s tweet that “Abortion is a Constitutional right” was also met with a slew of negative commentary. I’m not...

Schumer refusing to take responsibility. This non-apology is the equivalent of “I’m sorry you feel that way.” He threatened #SupremeCourt Justices. Personally. By name. He should be censured #CensureSchumer https://t.co/D3m0RNtwKy— Josh Hawley (@HawleyMO) March 5, 2020 Schumer: I’m from Brooklyn. We speak in strong language. I shouldn’t have used the words I did, but in no way was I making a threat. I never—never—would do such a thing. And Leader McConnell knows that. And Republicans..manufacturing outrage over these comments know that too.— Chad Pergram (@ChadPergram) March 5, 2020 Another tweet: Senators co-sponsoring @HawleyMO's resolution to censure Schumer for the...

This is sheer conjecture on my part, but I’m betting that some evenings Ariane de Vogue dresses up as Ruth Bader-Ginsburg and cross-examines her cats. What else can a CNN Supreme Court Reporter and RGB fangirl do until somebody starts a lefty political version of Comi Con? (Insert your own Bernie Sanders rally joke here.) Well, she can write worshipful accounts of her Earth Mother-Law Giver swatting away the pathetic assertions of inferior beings, like March 5’s “Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg dominates in abortion case.” Here’s de Vogue’s lede: If there is any question whether 86-year-old Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg,...

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Thursday said he used the wrong words in his comments about Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch outside the Supreme Court on Wednesday, saying they were not a threat. Schumer's remarks on the Senate floor came after a slew of condemnations coming from Republicans -- including some who want to censure the New York Democrat -- and a rebuke from the high court's chief justice. "Now, I should not have used the words I used yesterday. They didn't come out the way I intended to," Schumer said Thursday morning. "My point was that there...

A simple “I regret my poor decision to threaten two Supreme Court justices” would have worked fine here, but eh. NEW stmt from Schumer spox: “For Justice Roberts to follow the right wing’s deliberate misinterpretation of what Sen Schumer said, while remaining silent when Pres Trump attacked Justices Sotomayor & Ginsberg last week, shows Justice Roberts does not just call balls and strikes.” pic.twitter.com/9908ZAeNkz— Frank Thorp V (@frankthorp) March 4, 2020 Let’s go in order. Schumer’s comments earlier weren’t a reference to “the political price Senate Republicans will pay” for confirming Gorsuch and Kavanaugh. It’s insulting to our collective...

HAMMOND - - Threatening the president will get you prison time, even if you were more than 100 miles away when you did it. U.S. District Court Judge Philip Simon on Tuesday imposed a 30-month sentence on Steffon Gonzalez, 21, of Hobart, who pleaded guilty to posting threatening messages from his home on Facebook against President Trump earlier this spring. But if Gonzalez had been convicted at trial, he would have faced a maximum penalty of five years for his threats and an additional 20 years for trying to obstruct the federal investigation of his threats by telling his girlfriend...

The American Bar Association said on Wednesday that it is "deeply troubled" by a comment made by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., outside the Supreme Court that many said was a direct threat to two sitting justices.

Hollywood actresses always seem to make an appearance whenever there's a chance that one less baby might be aborted. Celebrity feminists Elizabeth Banks and Busy Philipps joined Democratic lawmakers and pro-abortion demonstrators at the foot of the Supreme Court on March 4 to stand in solidarity with baby-killing as a recent legal case involving the procedure was being heard. The demonstration, led by pro-choice non-profit the Center for Reproductive Rights, happened while the nation’s highest court was hearing “oral arguments in June Medical Services v. Russo,” which news site Mashable described as “a case that will determine the fate of...

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer threatened Trump-nominated Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh Wednesday, telling them they will “pay the price” if they uphold a pro-life law from Louisiana that saves babies from abortion and protects women’s health. “I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price, Schumer yelled into the mic before a crowd of abortion supporters. “You won’t know what hit you if you go through with these awful decisions,” he added. Responding to the tirade, pro-life Sen. Ben Sasse tore into...

Missouri Republican Sen. Josh Hawley plans to introduce a Senate motion to censure Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for attempting to intimidate Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.

You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with...

by Joe Callen President Donald Trump responded to Democrat Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer’s (D-NY) threat against Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh on Wednesday by saying that “serious” and immediate action needed to be taken against Schumer. “This is a direct & dangerous threat to the U.S. Supreme Court by Schumer,” Trump tweeted. “If a Republican did this, he or she would be arrested, or impeached. Serious action MUST be taken NOW!” Trump’s remarks came after Schumer threatened the Supreme Court Justices earlier in the day while speaking at a far-left pro-abortion rally near the Supreme...

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...

A fired-up Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., appeared to issue a vague warning toward Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh on Wednesday, during a rally held as the court heard arguments in a high-profile abortion case. At the rally hosted by the Center for Reproductive Rights, Schumer noted that the case, June Medical Services LLC v. Russo, is the first "major" abortion case since President Trump's court picks have been on the bench. The dispute, dealing with restrictions over who can perform abortions, involves a Louisiana law similar to one in Texas that the court ruled unconstitutional...
