Chief Justice Roberts issues statement criticizing comments of Senate Minority Leader Schumer:

“This morning, Senator Schumer spoke at a rally in front of the Supreme Court while a case was being argued inside...
2/ "...Senator Schumer referred to two Members of the Court by name and said he wanted to tell them that ‘You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You will not know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.’ ...
3/"...Justices know that criticism comes with the territory, but threatening statements of this sort from the highest levels of government are not only inappropriate, they are dangerous....
4/"...All Members of the Court will continue to do their job, without fear or favor, from whatever quarter.”
5/ The two justices Schumer mentioned were Trump appointees Justices Gorsuch and Kavanaugh.
6/ A Schumer spox says his boss was making "reference to political price Rs will pay for putting them on the court and a warning that the justices will unleash major grassroots movement on the issue of reproductive rights against the decision."
