Chief Justice Roberts thinks so.

Roberts called him out too when he did it. There is no but.But Trump.......
Does it as well. What Schumer said is not okay. Trump’s prior similar comments are not okay.But Trump.......
Did he? I don't recall Roberts doing that.Roberts called him out too when he did it. There is no but.

This shouldn’t be that complicated.
Try googling "Obama Judge".Did he? I don't recall Roberts doing that.

I’m quite frankly flabbergasted that Schumer would say this. Definitely lost a lot of respect for him today. I know abortion raises everyone’s temp, but that’s not an excuse. Best case, he didn’t mean for it to come out the way it did, but once someone it reads it back to him, he’s got to apologize.I’m squarely progressive, left of most people on this board.
Senator Schumer was over the line. I agree with CJ Roberts.
Great post.I don't even get it. It's not like those comments can even be construed as saying there are political consequences. These are lifetime appointments. And why single out Kavanaugh and Gorsuch only? Ugh. Dangerous discourse is infecting our nation and the "good people" need to stop this instead of shrugging it off. This was so why I wanted Buttigieg to win the D nomination because I think he was serious about unity.
That was about Obama appointed judges. I was talking about Trump's recent attacks on SCOTUS judges Ginsburg and Sotomayor and Roberts has been silent on that.
agree, it doesn’t even make sense. Just terrible comments all around.I don't even get it. It's not like those comments can even be construed as saying there are political consequences.

Attacks? Not even on the same planet as what Chuck said. Is it possible you have an opinion without obsessing about Trump?That was about Obama appointed judges. I was talking about Trump's recent attacks on SCOTUS judges Ginsburg and Sotomayor and Roberts has been silent on that.
How are they going to do that?I read it as Dems are planning to pack the court, not that he hopes something bad happens to them.
But, yeah. Should choose his words more carefully.
Trump talks this way and got elected president. Clearly you see the similarities here in the awfulness of each speaker’s statements, right?There is no doubt that this was a threat since he clearly only singled out the two conservative justices appointed by Trump.
There really should be some consequences for what he did like censure or something. Or maybe removing from his minority leader position.
This is not how a leader from a party that supposedly wants to bring the country together should talk.
Of course it does. Trump has spoken in this fashion since 2015. He’s the leader of the Republican Party. He’s the direct comparison.Senate Minority leader threatens Supreme Court justices, thread immediately turns to Trump. SMH.
What exactly did Trump say?Trump talks this way and got elected president. Clearly you see the similarities here in the awfulness of each speaker’s statements, right?
So just to be clear, are you saying that it's okay that schumer did that because Trump did it?Of course it does. Trump has spoken in this fashion since 2015. He’s the leader of the Republican Party. He’s the direct comparison.
The leader of the Republican party has endorsed and normalized attacks on judges. That doesn't make it OK, but it does make it difficult to take the latest Republican outrage seriously.So just to be clear, are you saying that it's okay that schumer did that because Trump did it?
What threats to what judges?The leader of the Republican party has endorsed and normalized threats to judges. That doesn't make it OK, but it does make it difficult to take the latest Republican outrage seriously.
This to me makes it hard to take any discussion seriously.The leader of the Republican party has endorsed and normalized threats to judges. That doesn't make it OK, but it does make it difficult to take the latest Republican outrage seriously.
That's not really my take at all.So really in your eyes nothing a Democrat will ever do is bad because Trump exists.
And you in turn re-lower the bar.That's not really my take at all.
My take is that society won't take Republican outrage seriously as long as they tacitly endorse Trump's attacks on judges.
I'm sure that frustrates you and many other Republicans, but that's what happens when you lower the bar.

Trump is critical of judges and probably goes too far often and should shut his mouth. Schumer went further than being critical and appeared threatening. Trump is a large hurdle to clear, but Schumer clearly did and pointing at Trump doesn't even work. That is bad.Of course it does. Trump has spoken in this fashion since 2015. He’s the leader of the Republican Party. He’s the direct comparison.
And I think he should apologize and this should then be over.No, but it was stupid and inappropriate.
Words matter. Trump's impeachment was largely based on a poor choice of words. Schumer was using his position as leading Democratic Senator, who are Constitutionally empowered to remove Supreme Court justices through impeachment, to try and influence an upcoming decision through a veiled threat. He deserves to be widely rebuked.I agree that Schumer could have chosen better words. But why is this such a big deal? People don't think that he is actually physically threatening anyone, do they?
It shouldn't be, but some can't get out of the way of their own hypocrisy. Sit back and watch the mental gymnastics ensue when they remain silent in some instances and throw tantrums in othersDoes it as well. What Schumer said is not okay. Trump’s prior similar comments are not okay.

Yeah, hadn't considered that angle. Good answer!Words matter. Trump's impeachment was largely based on a poor choice of words.

Policy reasons or just because he how he conveys his thoughts or something else?Democrats will be better off when Chuck Schumer is replaced.
