In rare rebuke, Chief Justice Roberts slams Schumer for 'threatening' comments

Our federal government divisions -- administrative, legislative and judicial -- are sometimes referred to as 'co-equals'. The judicial, given the responsibility of at times deciding upon actions of the other two branches, has a duty to remain impartial. In today's bifurcated political world, that impartiality should extend to being seen as even-handed with regard to the Republican and Democratic parties and their alter egos, the liberals and the conservatives.

Chief Justice John Roberts would do well to consider the political neutrality implications of public statements. Failure to do so does neither the Supreme Court nor our government writ large any favors.

We know how Trump likes to lock up women he doesn't like.

Or try to lock 'em up.

For all of Trump's loud bluster he is a gradualist. Unlike his hero Putin who goes straight for the Polonium.

Do you think Corona Virus is a Trump and Putin plot?

Not referring to anyone in particular, of course, but Leftists in general really don't understand how pathetically ignorant they really are. Their minds tend to wander. And they feel the best and brightest among them is Joe Biden. They're probably right.

Have you noticed just how disingenuous the left is? They KNOW that Biden is losing it and that his mental faculties are suspect at best, Yet, not a PEEP about it from MSM or any of the posters here who are propping him up like a drunken sailor.

So, not necessarily a situation where abortion, for example, can be decided state by state and states can have different interpretations of the guidelines for abortion?

SIAP. Roberts is just asking for the separation of powers in branches to be maintained.

In rare rebuke, Chief Justice Roberts slams Schumer for '''threatening''' comments

snip

Schumer, D-N.Y., suggested that President Donald Trump's court appointees, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, "won't know what hit" them if they vote to uphold abortion restrictions. He spoke during a rally on the sidewalk in front of the court building.

"I want to tell you Gorsuch, I want to tell you Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price,” Schumer said.

In a highly unusual written statement issued late Wednesday, Roberts said "statements of this sort from the highest levels of government are not only appropriate, they are dangerous."

"All members of the Court will continue to do their job, without fear or favor, from whatever quarter," Roberts said.

Grand slam! Good for SCJ Roberts for straightening out and rebuking Schumer's outrageous comments.

Who died and left him?
Shame on Chuckie. He should be censured for making threatening comments!

Where was Roberts when the Mango Menace was attacking Sotomayor?
 
Metric Mouse said:
The fact that he admitted he misspoke argues against your statement that it was "obvious." It was obviously an attack on the SCOTUS, which is why he called justices out by name. It couldn't be interpreted any other way except by deliberately ignoring his words. That's why he was pimp slapped and why he is now busy eating crow.

Politicians push and push against the 'envelope' until the 'envelope' pushes back.

No, but we know folks like you have accused the Dems of wanting millions to die by the virus so that is an even more stupid belief by you.

Oh please you have the orange menace telling people to go to work sick and that windmills cause cancer. So the orange menace is either incompetent of senile, take your pick and YOU support him. Your hypocrisy knows no bounds, that is for sure.

Why would anyone do that? Roberts is fine. He's not the one crying apologies like poor widdle Schumer.

Hopefully there's enough burn cream in Brooklyn to soothe Schumer's burn.

It's called comparisons and if you don't like it, you can stomp your foot for all I care. Deal with it, I'll continue to point out your hypocrisy whether you like it or not. Your orange menace you support is ****ing incompetent or senile, I'll let you decide. Now run away like normal saluting your Trump cutout like you always do.

I do think the Shumers, Schiffs, Pelosi's and many in MSM would LOVE this virus to get out of control so that Trump will be voted out. I have no doubts whatsoever about that.

I know. And when trump said he like to grab them by the p###y it meant he likes to walk up to women and physically grab them by the vagina and shake vigorously.


Of course you must agree

Nice attempted deflection from the thread topic. Trump once said something stupid so that makes Schumer's threat OK. ;)

That is a LIE and I already called out Blue Tex for the same lie and he slinked away.

He did NOT tell people to go to work with the virus. I listened and re-listened to the tape. You should too before making stupid comments that MSM teaches you.

And that is a stupid belief. No Dem in congress is wanting millions to die from the virus or have this get out of hand. It's sad your comments are so demented you actually believe this.
