Chief Justice John Roberts condemned Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer in a rare statement on Wednesday after the Senator threatened conservative justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.

Just when you may have thought that the low quality of political rhetoric in Washington could not get any worse, along comes Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) to prove otherwise. At a pro-choice demonstration outside the Supreme Court, which is considering a Louisiana law requiring doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals, Schumer delivered what sounded to many ears like a physical threat to two of the court's conservative justices: "I want to tell you, (Neil) Gorsuch, I want to tell you, (Brett) Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price."...

When Democratic leader Sen. Chuck Schumer threatened two sitting Supreme Court justices this week, some reporters and other Democratic politicians attempted to downplay his unprecedented attack by falsely claiming he was echoing what Justice Brett Kavanaugh had said during his contentious confirmation hearing. Only the completely ignorant or willfully duplicitous person could make such a comparison.[snip] "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.">

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...

September 14, 2010Reaping the Whirlwind By Lance Fairchok "They sow the wind, and they reap the whirlwind." - Hosea 8:7 "Sooner or later in life, we all sit down to a banquet of consequences." - Robert Louis Stevenson There is a sense of foreboding rising in this country. It is not the usual pessimism fueled by a sensational press, nor is it surfacing because of the political crisis machine that generates one drama after another by which to manipulate the electorate. It is a feeling of imminent danger fueled by a realization based on evidence so obvious and so startling...

Reaping the whirlwind Saturday, December 29, 2007 10:07 IST Some years ago, India had clamoured to get Pakistan named as a ‘terrorist state’. Pakistan was where many jihadis, who were inflicting wounds on the Indian body politic, were based and that country’s ruling establishment, overtly and covertly, was supporting them. India took its case to the world and especially to the United States, Pakistan’s best friend and ally in a bid to bring Pakistan’s perfidy out into the open. Naturally this plea did not go very far. Sovereign states are not just branded this way and least of all by...

“After the Declaration of Independence was signed, Virginia statesman John Page wrote to Thomas Jefferson: ``We know the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong. Do you not think an angel rides in the whirlwind and directs this storm?” WHEN in his Inaugural Address President Bush spoke the poetic “angel rides in the whirlwind” phrase, drawn from a letter written to Thomas Jefferson by John Page following the signing of the Declaration of Independence, I thought it was a verse of scripture that I had somehow missed or forgotten. Indeed, though he spoke this phrase ...

Sorry for this post if it is in the wrong place, but does anyone have an MP3 or .WAV or even a video of President Bush's Inaugural Address from his first term? I'm trying to make a nice mix for a project on my blog (which I shall post here when it is done). I was hoping to find a recording online but I can't seem to find an MP3 of it anywhere. The only thing I can find is the text of the speech. If you have one or a link to one, please email me? banagor@nerra.com is my...
