Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) delivered remarks at a pro-abortion rally in Washington, DC, during which a Supreme Court case involving abortion was proceeding. During his remarks, he threatened Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, urging them to vote the way he’d like for them to vote. Since they are pro-life and are not silent about their views, Schumer’s wish will likely not come to pass. But the threat is duly noted and taken seriously.

Schumer later halfway apologized. He said since he’s from Brooklyn, the way he spoke was not abnormal, although he shouldn’t have used the words that he chose. To no one’s surprise, he then doubled down on the rhetoric that Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, and anyone on the Right are dangerous to the Democrats’ views on abortion.
