“If, then, the courts of justice are to be considered as the bulwarks of a limited Constitution against legislative encroachments, this consideration will afford a strong argument for the permanent tenure of judicial offices,” argued Alexander Hamilton in Federalist No. 78.

FBI: Arrests made in ‘violent extremist group’ investigation involving Arizona
What’s to keep one of these kooks from acting “on Schumer’s behalf” upon hearing his blatent threats?
It seems that the party of Loyal Opposition is quickly devolving into the party of Open Rebellion
This can not stand
No it can’t.
It was not vague. It was a threat.
Nothing will be done. 16 sponsors? Should be 50.
in his non apology he said that he woudl never ever threaten anyone like that’ Yet that is exactly what he did- threaten people- so he flat out lied- but what’s new with liberals?
Seems to me that Shumer has given Mr. Trump even more ammo to use in putting more constitutional originalists on the Supreme Court.
That piece of filth should be in prison.

I’m a doctor. Why would you allow a friend or family member to undergo a D & C by a guy who doesn’t have privileges?
Oh wait, abortion is different?
Schumer is a gutless politician who will never be a real deal maker.
Trump has outed all of them.
VOTE DEMOCRAT
KILL BABIES
District and circuit court “judges” are a great reason why lifetime appointments should end, and they should be subject to intense scrutiny, maybe even be forced to attend town halls to hear what the people have to say.
NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.
Abortion was not the issue. Schumer was threatening US Supreme Court Justices.
Democrats are LAW-LESS because Republicans are BALL-LESS!!
If a kook decides to take matters into his own hands can we hold this scumbag Schumer responsible for inciting
Except for Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, Chuck Schumer and millions and millions of illegals...
Well there is only one thing to do, assign the TSA to the Supreme Court and have them institute a mandatory cavity search of every person who visits. Especially any attorney or politician with Democratic sympathies since apparently there is a newly discovered domestic terrorist group.
