Chief Justice John Roberts issued a rare statement rebuking Chuck Schumer for comments the Senate minority leader made about Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch outside the Supreme Court

Washington on Wednesday.

Schumer, speaking at a rally of abortion rights supporters, appeared to threaten Kavanaugh and Gorsuch, President Donald Trump's two Supreme Court nominees who were confirmed after bruising nomination fights. "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," Schumer said.

Were the comments threatening or not?

No need for the quotes.

“Threatening”? How about threatening!

What’s with the “”? The comments were threatening.

CNN 'News'

They were threatening even though not a soul would be scared of this geriatric fool SenSchumer

Why is threatening in quotes since that’s in fact what he did?

I didn’t hear a threat. More like an alert or warning. Not a personal attack!

Schumer was disgusting and should be punished at some level. I’m a Dem and he was way over the top this time.

Schumer’s actions unacceptable & reprehensible Should be censured for his reckless threats against 2 Supreme Court judges

Schumer is a douche, he is really going to lose it when Trump gets two more Supreme Court picks in his second term.

Finally exposed as a thug in suits.

Look, Schumer shouldn't have used the words he used, but Roberts' response means absolutely nothing given his silence just last week when Trump criticized RBG and Sotomayor

Schumer is a danger to America.

Now you have a voice about this Poor piece of humanity you are!

Roberts is a fascist who needs to be removed

The sycophantic court said.

Judge Roberts I can't hear you anymore

“Threatening”? Air quotes, cnn? The comment was literally a threat.

Schumer needs to apologize.

Censure AND impeach him.

the SCOTUS has lost my confidence and trust They work for trump and fascism

Where was the Chief Justice Roberts when realDonaldTrump threatened an Ambassador? SCOTUS

Censure or Impeachment and arrest.

How can Roberts stand up since he has no spine.

It's a pity that isn't a single uncorrupted conservative on the Supreme Court.

Screw CJ Roberts, if he stay quite while Trump comment on Sotomayor and RBG, he can stay quite on this too. Plus, this sound more like a promise than threats.

Impeach Schumer the thug now

it's not a threat, it's a promise. If SCOTUS makes abortion illegal in the United States there will be people in the streets, there will be riots, there will be unrest. If a government takes rights away from its citizens, the citizens will respond.

Crazy pathetic excuse of a senate member, absolutely sad and pathetic

Now he finds his voice, another Bolton

Oh...puhleeese. He sits idly by while Trump destroys the Constitution but his feelings get hurt by a few words from Schumer.

Democrats... such hypocrisy

One of the reasons to pass original abortion laws were so it would be a safer procedure. Now there’s a law to make it even safer and the same who worried about safety says it limits women? Interesting

Say it again Chuck.

This entire thread: 'It's fine that he threatened the SCOTUS because he is a democrat! What about the completely non-threatneing things Trump said!?!?!?!?!?! That's what is outrageous, not a direct threat from Schumer. He's a democrat so it's ok!!'

John Roberts is clearly a hopeless hopeless hopeless partisan hack. He was completely silent when Trump attacked Kagan and Sotomayor

Roberts should have done this several months ago when some of the Congressional Democrats threatened to change the Supreme Court because they didn't like the decisions coming out of it. Schumer should be prosecuted for threatening the judges. I'm sure it's a felony to do so.

Didn’t hear him say anything when Trump said the liberal justices should recuse themselves.

Now do Trump.
