Motion to have Chuck Schumer censured for threatening 2 SCOTUS justices

Call it what you want, but Democratic Senate Minority Leader Charles "Flaring Nostrils" Schumer (D-NY) is facing strong backlash for threatening Supreme Court Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch on Wednesday.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) has indicated that he intends to introduce a measure to censure Chuck.

In a pro-abortion rally in front of the Supreme Court today, Senator Schumer threatened Justices by name shouting, “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.”

And this is BEFORE the court voted.

Hawley tweeted:

Now @chuckschumer is threatening Supreme Court Justices personally, to the point of implying their physical safety is endangered. Disgusting, shameful, and frankly, WEAK.
I would call on Schumer to apologize, but we all know he has no shame. So tomorrow I will introduce a motion to censure Schumer for his pathetic attempt at intimidation of #SupremeCourt

Jimmy Williams, a senior adviser to Tom Steyer’s miserably failed presidential campaign, responded to Schumer’s threat, stating:

“Threatening a sitting Justice regardless of their politics is dangerous. What Schumer said is gross inappropriate and unacceptable. He should clarify his words immediately or step down from leadership. We must be better than this.

Even the leftist law professor Lawrence Tribe blasted Schumer and tweeted:

These remarks by @SenSchumer were inexcusable. Chief Justice Roberts was right to call him on his comments. I hope the Senator, whom I’ve long admired and consider a friend, apologizes and takes back his implicit threat. It’s beneath him and his office.

Democrat Jonathan Turley, Constitutional Law Professor at George Washington University, also criticized Schumer for his threat, saying:

“Schumer’s threat to the Court that ‘you will pay the price’ is a direct attack on the integrity of our courts,” Turley wrote “I criticized Trump for his reckless comments about the courts. Where is the chorus of condemnation of Schumer? Schumer sounded more like a stalker than a statesman.”

The most notable thing in this situation is the fact that the mainstream media is silent, and that's deplorable.
