Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell called out Sen. Chuck Schumer while on the floor of the Senate Thursday morning after Schumer made threatening remarks toward Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.

McConnell said, “First he prompted a crowd of left wing activists to boo two of the associate justices as though Supreme Court justices were professional athletes and Sen. Schumer was jeering from the stands. And then the Senator from New York said this, ‘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.’

“…There is nothing to call this except a threat,” McConnell said.

According to Fox News,

The majority leader also referenced a past threat from Democratic Senators, who in an August 2019 brief said the Supreme Court was “not well” and should “heal itself before the public demands it be ‘restructured in order to reduce the influence of politics.'” This was interpreted as a threat to pack the court by increasing the number of justices and loading the roster with liberals when a Democrat is in the White House.

McConnell was not the only senator who addressed Schumer’s comments. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, called on Schumer to apologize.

“At best, it was an injection of partisan politics into the process that should be immune to these justices,” Grassley said. “At worst it was a threat targeting two sitting members of the Supreme Court.”

Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., has indicated that he plans to introduce a resolution to censure the minority leader.

“I would call on Schumer to apologize, but we all know he has no shame,” Hawley wrote Wednesday. “So tomorrow I will introduce a motion to censure Schumer for his pathetic attempt at intimidation of #SupremeCourt.”
