Chief Justice John Roberts - Statement on Chuck Schumers' Threat

The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States felt it necessary to make a statement on Democrat Chuck Schumer's deranged remarks threatening Associate Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.



Statement from Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr.:

This morning, Senator Schumer spoke at a rally in front of the Supreme Court while a case was being argued inside. 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." 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."

This is remarkable.

It's a major story for the Chief Justice to reprimand the minority leader of the U.S. Senate.
