#1 It was clearly and unmistakably a specific threat made to a howling mob, on the Supreme Court steps, against two sitting Justices whom this thug called out by name.

This is serious stuff.
Deadly serious. Shouldn't be allowed to stand.

#4 Looks like the best thing that can be done is to vote Schumer out of office. He has a history of somewhat veiled threats; some not so veiled as with SCOTUS threats.

#5 Seeking a red flag order is creative. However, Schumer doesn't seem like a guy who would go packing. Doesn't he have SS protection?

#6 I could be wrong but I don't believe that senators get Secret Service protection. Disarming the senator and his security detail would most certainly have a chilling effect on him. Of course, 12 months in jail would cool his jets too.

#7 The left will attack the court as long as it's majority conservative. If it were majority liberal the left would defend the court with equal viciousness.

#8 Senior Members of the Congress are authorized US Capitol Police Protective details. They are federal police officers with concurrent jurisdiction throughout the entire US and are armed with full police powers. think federal marshals for the legislative branch.

#9 Re the statute, from the request for a Red Flag order:

Senator Schumer’s threats violate 40 U.S.C. section 6134 which states: “It is unlawful to ... make a harangue or oration, or utter loud, threatening, or abusive language in the Supreme Court Building or grounds.”

The penalty for violation of that statute is a fine or imprisonment of not more than 60 days, or both. See 40 U.S.C. section 6137(a). The American people await the action of the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia in enforcing that criminal statute.

#10 Schumer did it because Obama got away with it.

#11 It caused John Roberts to cower when Obama did it. I was surprised when Roberts stood up to Schumer.
