Democrats threaten US Supreme Court justices

Not a good idea for anyone to do this at any time, for any reason.

First, the Wednesday, March 4th story from the WashingtonExaminer.com:

Chuck Schumer threatens Kavanaugh and Gorsuch will ‘pay the price’ if they rule the wrong way

by Becket Adams

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer threatened Supreme Court Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch Wednesday after the conservative Supreme Court justices signaled a willingness to uphold a Louisiana law requiring doctors who perform abortions to acquire hospital admitting privileges.

And that clinics be within 30 miles of a hospital.

These are Senator Schumer’s comments on video at the pro-abortion rally outside the Supreme Court building in DC.

Senator Schumer said:

“They’re taking away fundamental rights. 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.”

Oddly enough, it appears Senator Chuck Schumer was successful in promulgating frothing insanity there at the US Supreme court.

What “awful decisions” have been made by Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, might you rightly ask? The answer is: no decisions. These words were predicated but upon a decision the likes of which Gorsuch and Kavanaugh may make in the future.

They haven’t made a decision yet. And no one knows precisely how they will decide. Additionally, of interest is the fact that Schumer didn’t threaten any other so-called “conservative” justice like, say, Justice Thomas. Schumer only threatened the jurists nominated by President Trump.

Also: why might admitting privileges and a nearby hospital be important? Because there can easily be medical complications in any abortion — and a Planned Parenthood or similar facility is not a hospital and does not inherently possess life-saving equipment and people inherently trained in life-saving measures as one would customarily acquire at a certified hospital or trauma center. Admitting privileges at a given hospital indicate a better trained individual familiar with local medical facilities, procedures.

Senator Schumer is stating, quite unequivocally, that he is against this. That means that he essentially could not care less about the life of the child — obviously — but more importantly, he apparently could not care less about the life of the mother.

As you might expect, some people did not care for the remarks — Chief Justice John Roberts in particular. From NBCNews.com:

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

by Pete Williams

“You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price,” the senator from New York said of Trump appointees to the bench..

WASHINGTON — Chief Justice John Roberts publicly chastised Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Wednesday over comments Schumer made outside the Supreme Court as the justices were hearing a case on abortion rights.

In a highly unusual written statement issued late Wednesday, Roberts said, “Statements of this sort from the highest levels of government are not only inappropriate, they are dangerous.”

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

Of course, Senator Schumer fell back on the standard Mark I, Model I lying-ass excuse of “I didn’t mean it.” From the LATimes.com:

Speaking on the Senate floor, Schumer said his words “didn’t come out the way I intended to.”

“My point was that there would be political consequences for President Trump and Senate Republicans if the Supreme Court, with the newly confirmed justices, stripped away a woman’s right to choose,” he said. He added: “I’m from Brooklyn. We speak in strong language.”

Uh, no. He said precisely what me meant to say. What he said wasn’t generic, it was very, very specific. He didn’t name President Trump. He didn’t name Senate Republicans. Schumer named, quite literally: Gorsuch and Kavanaugh. Very specific names.

As Hugh Hewitt wrote in response:

“It is far more grave than a mistake. It is a threat against individuals who live with them daily. It is an attack on the judiciary. It is an incitement to violence. It is a debacle and a terrible day for the country.”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said:

“Contrary to what the Democratic leader has tried to claim, he very clearly was not addressing Republican lawmakers or anybody else. He literally directed the statement to the justices, by name. And he said, quote, ‘if you go forward with these awful decisions,’ which could only apply to the court itself. The minority leader of the United States Senate threatened two associate justices of the U.S. Supreme Court. Period.”

Now let’s think about what Schumer really meant.

The reality is that there won’t be so-called “political consequences” to any Supreme Court jurist. They are appointed for life. You can’t reduce their pay. You’d have to reduce the pay for all of them. So what could Schumer mean? Logically, what’s remaining?

I suppose, yes, you could dox them. Reveal their home addresses on the internet. The places where they shop or worship or their favorite restaurants. Clubs they attend. Personally-excoriating information.

The last thing possible would be actual violence. This would be wrong — not to mention illegal — on so many levels.

What Schumer’s rhetoric does do, as we have seen so many times before by Leftists, Demorats, Antifa et al, is grant a sort of tacit carte blanche to those who really do wish to enable violence. We’ve seen that on so many prior occasions.

You know: the kind of national Leftist violence we’re going to see on November 4th when President Trump is re-elected.

Senator Chuck Schumer views what the Supremes could do as “incrementalism.” You know: the kind of “incrementalism” that Leftists and Demorats pull on Republicans and Conservatives in terms of the First Amendment or the Second Amendment. Or essentially anything else involving freedoms and liberties.

Finally, you noticed my headline indicated “Democrats” and not just Senator Chuck Schumer. Why? Because that’s precisely the headline you’d get were things reversed.

What do you think the results would be had House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said those things of Leftist jurists Ginsburg and Sotomayor? The headline would have lumped all Republicans together; you know it and I know it. And we both know that the story would have been topping the news for at least a week. “Racist” this, “sexist” that. “Republicans threaten the lives of female Supreme Court justices.”

So save the faux “outrage” and the outright threats, Senator Schumer, over “ruling the wrong way” and abortion. The Supreme Court has been ruling against Conservatives for decades and you didn’t see politicians threaten jurists. As a matter of fact, the history of threatening jurists rests with the Demorat Party.

From ThinkProgress.org in 2019:

Five Democratic senators just declared all-out war on the Supreme Court

by Ian Millhiser

Whitehouse is one of five senators (the others are Sens. Mazie Hirono (D-HI), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Dick Durbin (D-IL), and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY)) who filed a brief earlier this week in a Second Amendment case the Supreme Court’s Republican majority could use to dismantle what remains of America’s gun regulations. Whitehouse is also the lead (and only) counsel on the brief.

The brief itself is less a legal document than a declaration of war. Though parts of it argue that the high court lacks jurisdiction over this case, New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. City of New York, the thrust of the brief is that the Supreme Court is dominated by political hacks selected by the Federalist Society, and promoted by the National Rifle Association — and that if those hacks don’t watch out, the American people are going to rebel against them.

Oddly enough, that didn’t happen. The world didn’t stop rotating on its axis. But doesn’t the rhetoric sound a bit familiar? Did Schumer tap the Five Angry Demorats for inspiration?

I submit: yes he did.

We all know the truth here.

Schumer threatened sitting jurists on the US Supreme Court.

And he meant every word.

Fear this Leftist

As appropriate, once this video was unleashed, Conservatives and Republicans began quaking in fear all across the United States of America.

I am so glad I wasn’t quaffing a carbonated beverage when first viewed.

Billionaire Leftist: we need a nuclear war to correct Trump

We’ve heard and seen the continuing advocacy by Leftists of confrontation, death threats and violence against the Trump administration and members of various staffs. We’ve heard Leftists advocate for rape, death, throat-slitting, plunging knives into sternums of ICE officers, placing Barron Trump into a cage with pedophiles, the DHS secretary stripped naked and whipped, pilloried in Lafayette Square naked and whipped by passersby, finding the children of Republican children and killing them — well, you get the picture.

Thought that was the ultimate in violent advocacy by the LDAMM? Think again:

Steyer: Maybe We Can Have a ‘Nuclear War’ to Provide a ‘Real Course Correction’ to Trump

by David Rutz

Left-wing billionaire Tom Steyer said perhaps there could be a “nuclear war” that would provide a “real course correction” to Donald Trump’s presidency during an interview published by Rolling Stone.

Steyer, who launched a national impeachment campaign against President Donald Trump last year, spoke with the liberal magazine about his efforts, which have been opposed by leading Democrats like House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.).

A real nuclear war? A “nuclear war” of violence?

Interviewer Tim Dickinson pointed out Pelosi’s strategy of opposing impeachment of President George W. Bush, to take the issue off the table in 2006. Democrats took back both chambers of Congress in an electoral rout that year.

Then the “money shot” paragraph.

“I remember 2006,” Steyer said. “What happened is that George W. Bush, he put us in two disastrous wars and we were headed toward the biggest financial disaster since the Great Depression. So if the answer is that we need those three things to happen for a course correction, I’d prefer to move a little quicker. How about that? But I take your point. Maybe we can have, like, a nuclear war and then we get a real course correction.”

Yeah, I’d say a nuclear war would be something of a “course correction.”

This is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg regarding Leftist violence.

More coming. Particularly this summer and fall.

Civil war prodded by Antifa elements?

Antifa vows to start a civil war on November 4th.

They have stated this in public and across numerous forms of social media.

This first from RefuseFascism.org:

November 4 It Begins: The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go!

From the Call for Nov 4:

… ON NOVEMBER 4, 2017:

We will gather in the streets and public squares of cities and towns across this country, at first many thousands declaring that this whole regime is illegitimate and that we will not stop until our single demand is met: This Nightmare Must End: the Trump/Pence Regime Must Go!

Our protest must grow day after day and night after night—thousands becoming hundreds of thousands, and then millions—determined to act to put a stop to the grave danger that the Trump/Pence Regime poses to the world by demanding that this whole regime be removed from power…

It’s at this point that I would highly recommend to each and every reader of this blog and listener to my radio show the book by Jamie Glazov entitled UNITED IN HATE, in which he lays out with example after example, evidence upon evidence, that the only systemic hate across the globe has been on the part of Leftists. The book is, naturally, then subtitled “The Left’s Romance With Tyranny and Terror.”

Antifa plans to start its war here.

More from RefuseFascism.org:

This Nightmare Must End:
The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go!

In the Name of Humanity, We REFUSE to Accept a Fascist America!

A Nightmare:

Immigrants living in terror—their next step could mean detention, deportation, being torn from children and loved ones.

A Nightmare:

Muslims and refugees demonized, banned and cast out.

A Nightmare:

Millions—children, the elderly, disabled, the sick, the poor—denied healthcare, food assistance, the very right to live.

A Nightmare:

Women objectified, degraded, and denied the basic right to control their own reproduction, with fundamentalist Christian fascism increasingly being made law.

A Nightmare:

LGBTQ people stigmatized, ostracized, and denied civil rights recently won.

A Nightmare:

Black and Latino people openly threatened by the President, with maximum sentencing, stop-and-frisk going national, intensified police brutality and murder of our youth with no holds barred.

A Nightmare:

People all over the world facing bombings, occupations, war and the threat of nuclear war with Donald Trump’s “America First” finger on the nuclear trigger.

A Nightmare:

The truth bludgeoned—lies and more lies—critical thinking being destroyed in education and public discourse.

A Nightmare:

The whole planet in peril from a regime that denies global warming and shreds all environmental protections.

A Nightmare:

A regime step by step discarding basic democratic rights, targeting group after group, and suppressing dissent and resistance. A regime unleashing the violence of white supremacists, anti-semites, and fascist thugs. This is fascism—a qualitative change in how society is governed. History has shown that fascism must be stopped before it becomes too late.

THIS NIGHTMARE MUST END. Millions feel this and ache with the question of how to stop this unrelenting horror. The stakes are nothing less than the future of humanity and the planet itself.

Who will end this nightmare? We will. Only the determined struggle of millions of people acting together with courage and conviction can drive this regime from power.

The true nightmare, however, is for the American Taxpayer — who is expected to spoon-feed entitled illegal immigrant law-breakers, coddled and nannied Gen-Zrs living in mommy’s house, LGBTQ et al pronoun-amped queeroids, Religious Leftists, Muslim apologists and enablers and those who demand more Free Cheese than there are cows to meet the demand. All for nothing. No work. No product. Unilateral Give Me More. I demand it, I must have it, no one else matters and I will burn down your houses if I don’t get it.

But what do the American Taxpayers receive as a Return On Investment or ROI?

Nothing, save that of naked hatred, violence, threats, shaming, destruction of property, riots, anarchy and anything else that pops into the heads of GOWPs across the nation, entitled, puerile little festering beasts that act like spoiled fourth graders. And I apologize to fourth graders.

This gentleman then weighs in. Responses like this should not be unanticipated due to the continuous pushing of the Left. They simply do not know when to stop and let the sleeping giant be.

One should not be shocked because, as we already know, according to various Newton Laws, “for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.”

Then this from the DailyCaller.com:

Antifa Site: Actions Like Las Vegas Shooting ‘Will Only Escalate’ Due To ‘White Supremacy’

by Justin Caruso

It’s Going Down, a website that reports news on anarchism and antifascism, recently reposted comments on their Instagram account blaming “white supremacy” and “patriarchy” for the recent mass shooting in Las Vegas.

Many mainstream media outlets have also blamed white men or “white supremacy” for actions of Las Vegas mass shooter Stephen Paddock. 

Let’s watch Tucker Carlson and Ruben Navarrette.

Here is Ruben Navarrette’s article, “Why it’s time to start profiling white males.”

Is it so far-fetched to think that in some way Antifa, ISIS and anarchists couldn’t initially agree on some form of destroying America? I don’t think so. From NBCNewYork.com:

ISIS Sympathizers Planned to ‘Create the Next 9/11’ With Attacks on Concerts, Subways & Times Square: Feds

by Jonathan Dienst

One of the suspects allegedly told an undercover agent posing as ISIS sympathizer that “NY Needs to fall.”

Three men living outside the U.S. planned to attack concerts, Times Square and crowded subways in 2016 in an ISIS-inspired attack that one of the suspects said he hoped would be “the next 9/11,” authorities announced on Friday afternoon.

The FBI said the three men — Abdulrahman El Bahnasawy, a 19-year-old Canadian citizen; Talha Haroon, a 19-year-old U.S. citizen based in Pakistan; and Russell Salic, a 37-year-old orthopedic surgeon in the Phillipines — allegedly used chat apps to talk about bringing a car bomb into the Crossroads of the World, gunning down subway riders before detonating vests and opening fire on concertgoers in the vein of the Paris terror attacks of 2015.

“NY Needs to fall. This is a must,” Haroon allegedly wrote in a message to an undercover agent posing as an ISIS sympathizer.

Sound familiar? Last Sunday?

That said, this could all equate to, in the vernacular, a large “nothing burger.”

It all depends on how violent and insistent and disruptive Antifa and aligned Leftists decide to be.

And what we learn before November 4th.

Who is violent? The Left, of course

A gentle, loving reminder.

And yes, there was violence on both sides in Charlottesville. You would be blind not to see it.
