From WSJopinion: Schumer’s tirade takes bullying the judiciary to a new level, and all those who claim to believe in democratic norms should call him out

Democrats like to accuse President Trump of violating institutional democratic norms, and often he does with his rhetorical broadsides. But at least he’s never directly threatened the U.S. Supreme Court the way Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer did on Wednesday.

Speaking to a crowd on the Supreme Court steps, the leading Senate Democrat declared: “I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price.” He meant Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, the newest...

opinion Stuff it. Senator Schumer was fighting fire with fire. Those of you who do not recognize that the justices bully others, are blind as a bat and deaf as a doornail.

opinion Nonsense. We elect our representatives to fight for our rights. A woman’s right to choose is a big stump issue for many. You mess with the bull you get the horns

opinion The double standard of the GOP is astounding

opinion Should we start reprimanding trump for his actions now too?

opinion Senator Schumer was responding to the bullies by fighting fire with fire. In my estimation the Supreme Court is useless. They could screw up a free lunch with a stroke of a pen.

opinion The only way to stop this bastard Senator Chuck Schumer by sending him and his family 64 million threats, use the same words just put his name. Don’t turn around if you don’t want to know what hit you. Prospect Park South West is where he lives. The new Haman

opinion

opinion Treasonous

opinion Schumer produces nothing! He is a lifelong politician who couldn’t do something for the people if he tried!!! This episode proved it!

opinion I thot threatening a federal judge was illegal.

opinion

opinion Arrest SenSchumer

opinion Schumer is a shmuck and weak. He never should have gotten the gig.

opinion World-class hypocrisy from the dumbest editorial pages in the country.

opinion

opinion Please...........

opinion Yeah Nice Try.

opinion Done and done....now awaiting the WSJ opinion piece taking Trump to task for literally every single thing he has said since announcing his candidacy....................should be any minute now.

opinion We did, and he apologized profusely. Now do realDonaldTrump

opinion Two words: Merrick Garland

opinion 'He turned a prayer breakfast into a launching pad for political attacks and then staged a long, rambling venting session at the White House where he denounced “evil” and “crooked” lawmakers and the “top scum” at the F.B.I' NY Times 2/14/20

opinion CensureSchumerNow

opinion Trump Threatens Schiff: ‘He Has Not Paid the Price, Yet’ 1/27/20

opinion “I just don’t know how they can not recuse themselves from anything having to do with Trump or Trump-related,” he said. “The right thing to do is that. “What Justice Sotomayor said … was really highly inappropriate and everybody agrees to that

opinion Ha what a hypocrite statement!🤬

opinion SenSchumer is the white TheRevAl. A bully who takes advantage of absolutely ANY excuse to be in front of a camera. He forgot about his constituents a long time ago, and cares about them only when their needs intersect with his own self interest.

opinion Murdoch's paper saw nothing wrong with stealing a SCOTUS seat or Trump attacking 2 liberal justices, but Schumer's demented attacks, oh, that's shameful.

opinion Well looky who gives sudden shit.

opinion Call him out.......maybe you could say that if the GOP had done that on any number of occasions with this train-wreck we have for a POTUS, but instead they are a bunch of ostriches!!!

opinion And this guy is a moderate.

opinion It can’t only work one way though.

opinion Schumer has chutzpah and doesn’t take bullshit from any of these self righteous republicans or journalists - and wait until he’s Senate Majority leader next year

opinion Trump has destroyed those rules, and you know it!

opinion It’s okay for the left , like Schumer, to make public threats to anyone; even punching an innocent conservative guy in CALIFORNIA was a joy for them. If it’s a repub or any conservative person, the person will receive all kinds of condemnation—4 ever!!! He will be torn to pieces

opinion Whose stupid opinion is this?

opinion This election is about good vs evil. Take the country back from collusion and corruption and the very swamp it is turning into. The legislative branch can’t do it alone. Need the help of public to take back the country.

opinion Really...🤔😱🥱

opinion You calling out Trump for his continual veiled threats to anyone who opposes him?

opinion Shame on you WSJ; you remain silent on the vile filth that Trump spews? Hypocrites. We also canceled our subscription.

opinion The judiciary ie supreme court has colluded with executive and Trump has judiciary in his pocket. The country has legislative ie Congress sole to take care of the country. Chuck Schumer was right to threaten chief justices. Entire system has broken down completely.

opinion His only response to the haters should be, 'Trump is a million times worse'.

opinion get a hold of yourselves, really. live in the real world.

opinion Then call out realDonaldTrump and GOPLeader and DevinNunes and MoscowMitch

opinion and Trump on justices recusing themselves?

opinion Trump’s tirade against Justices received no rebuke from Roberts

opinion Honestly, Trump’s record on judicial attacks is pathetic. It has never been like this before. Schumer should have been more selective with his words, though his sentiment is right on. But Don the con needs to zip it, if anyone realistically expects this stuff to stop.(unlikely)

opinion If I stood in front of the SCOTUS while they were in Session hearing a case, and I threatened Assoc. Justices that 'they won't know what hit them' if they continue to rule against my opinion, I WOULD HAVE WOLVES AT THE DOOR to haul me to JAIL. Is SenSchumer above the law?

opinion Hey now do a piece on tRump name calling, bullying, debasing the office etc. You can start with the Pocahontas slur...

opinion Oh Jeeze! Quit being so petty. We put up with Trump’s BS, day in and day out. At least Schumer humbled himself.

opinion The guy in the White House literally does this daily...

opinion Hey liberals (I am one), what Schumer said was stupid and inappropriate. When one of us does something dumb, admit it and move on.

opinion Now do trump mcpussy

opinion Whatabout Trump

opinion Unhinged and intolerable

opinion No it doesn't. He was wrong and apologized. All the daily, much 'higher level' stuff is owned by your friends Trump, MoscowMitchMcTreason, and the ComplicitCorruptGOP

opinion WSJ opinions? Sorry I have wasted too much of time already.

opinion In Schumer's delusional version of reality, he thought making a threat in front of a crowd of people who have no problem killing a human life was a good idea...

opinion Spare me you indignation. Call out the President when he exhibits similar behavior.

opinion Chuck speaks for many to most women on this topic.

opinion Crickets

opinion i think the one who should be getting out is the trumps justice minions who operate under no justice at all america isnt 2 or 3 crazy christian pastors who override hundreds of millions of americans right to decide

opinion It should be taken seriously but in reality it’s kinda equivalent to a 6 year old threatening his mom that he’s going to hold his breath

opinion Now do donald!

opinion Kavanaugh bullying Dr. Ford took bullying to a new level and then he became SCOTUS. The atmosphere of refinement and decency has been replaced by Trump long ago. We are just adapting to it.

opinion Super Loser!

opinion DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT Not only have U forfeited a right to say ANYTHING now ...but FOREVERMORE The President of the United $tates has defiled the office and ALL the Institutions that support it w/o a word said So Go away in $hame If U have any $hame left!!!

opinion This reporting is why I cancelled my subscription with you

opinion Schumer was definitely in the wrong on this one.

opinion 😂

opinion After what happened on 2/5/20, Schumer should be skeptical!

opinion So Very Very Sad...LORD help us all

opinion True. Schumer is disgusting and an embarrassment. 🙁

opinion Wait, have you ever heard of Trump? He's this guy who called out a judge just because he was of Mexican descent. That's pretty next level. Chuck was wrong. Chuck apologize. Now do Donald

opinion WSJ has missed the whole past 3 years where the mthrfcking SOB sewer rat Russian asset has been pretending to be US prez.

opinion Can’t wait for the article where Peggynoonannyc blames Trump

opinion Do the Lying Corrupt Racist Criminal President First.

In rare rebuke, Chief Justice Roberts slams Schumer for 'threatening' commentsIn extraordinary statement, Chief Justice Roberts admonishes Senate Minority Leader Schumer over Schumer's comments outside the U.S. Supreme Court. As he should have. It would’ve been nice to see some consistency from Chief Roberts and do the same to Trump and his reckless diatribe over Justices Sotameyer & Ginsberg.... Gee, the Chief Justice was such a hood ornament during impeachment when the GOPutinistas were catapulting their bullshit, but Schumer crossed the line? What an asshole. But says nothing when DJT goes after Sotomayor and Ginsberg. Wonder why?
