SCHUMER IN HOT WATER: As Resurfaced Video Shows Chuck Schumer Threatening Justices Kavanaugh and Gorsuch – “Pay the Price” If They Make “Awful Decisions”

A resurfaced video shows Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer giving a speech before the Supreme Court in March of 2020. He threatened Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh and said, “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.”

He also said, “Now, we stand here today because behind me, inside the walls of this court, the Supreme Court is hearing arguments, as you know, for the first major abortion right cases since Kavanaugh and Gorsuch came to the bench. We know what’s at stake. Over the last three years, women’s reproductive rights have come under attack in a way we haven’t seen in modern history. From Louisiana to Missouri, to Texas Republican legislatures are waging war on women, all women, and they’re taking away fundamental rights. 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.”

This is not the first time Justice Kavanaugh has been threatened or intimidated.

A man was just arrested today outside Justice Kavanaugh’s home. According to sources that spoke to the Washington Post:

The man was reportedly carrying “at least one weapon” when he was confronted by authorities. WaPo’s report was sparse on specific details, but what was reported is damning in light of the White House’s refusal to condemn protests targeting justices’ private homes.

The individual, described as a man in his mid-20s, was found to be carrying at least one weapon and burglary tools, these people said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation. Police were apparently notified that the person might pose a threat to the justice, but it was not immediately clear who provided the initial tip, these people said. The man apparently did not make it onto Kavanaugh’s property in Montgomery County, but he was stopped on a nearby street, these people said.

Two people familiar with the investigation said the initial evidence indicates the man was angry about the leaked draft of an opinion by the Supreme Court signaling the court is preparing to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 49-year-old decision that guaranteed a person’s constitutional right to have an abortion. He was also angry over a recent spate of mass shootings, these people said.

Before Jen Psaki left her role as White House Press Secretary, she did not condemn people targeting the Justice’s homes.

She said, “The reason these people are protesting is because women across the country are worried about their fundamental rights.”
