When he’s not shooing invisible people out of his chair, Democrat Senator Chuck “Mr. Paranormal” Schumer likes to threaten Supreme Court justices–by name (https://www.nationalreview.com/news/schumer-claims-conservative-supreme-court-justices-will-pay-the-price-if-they-rule-against-abortion-advocates/).
This is simply not done, but Schumer did it. Singling out justices Gorsuch and Kavanagh, the Senate Minority Leader said, “You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price.” He was talking about an abortion case currently under consideration–sort of like he was trying to scare the justices into voting his way, or else. His way, of course, is “no restrictions on abortion, none at all, ever!” Baby-killer. “You won’t know what hit you,” he said.
Gee, what if some nut out there gets agitated by Schumer’s performance and tries to carry out the program?
Prediction (and you can take it to the bank): Absolutely nothing will happen to Schumer, by way of consequences, in spite of the fact that he has publicly threatened two Supreme Court justices by name. That’s because the “D” after his name renders him immune from laws.
It may not even be possible, any more, for a Democrat to incur adverse consequences for anything. No eviction from office. No jail time. No public shaming. No fine or loss of privileges. No nothing. Democrats can do anything they want and not get punished for it. Don’t believe me? Ask Attorney General Barr how many of them he’s put away lately. (Hint: Not one. Not even one.)
But hey! Wouldn’t that be nice, if Supreme Court justices had to consider their own personal safety as a factor in any ruling they might make?
There’s been a bit of a kerfluffle over this, but it will pass; and the upshot will be, of course… nothing. Schumer has muttered a lame and insincere apology, claiming, “It wasn’t a threat.” Nope, not a threat. More like an endearment, really.
What do you suppose would happen if you said, publicly, in front of a crowd of wild liberals, what Schumer said?
