National Review’s Alexandra DeSanctis is outside the Supreme Court today covering rallies revolving around the June Medical Services v. Russo case.
A reminder of what’s at stake in June Medical: Abortion clinics are challenging a Louisiana law requiring providers to have admitting privileges at local hospitals in case of emergency.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer stopped by to show his support for the pro-abort crowd … and to say some things about SCOTUS Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch:
I’m here in front of the Supreme Court for the rallies as the Court considers June Medical, and Chuck Schumer is addressing the pro-abortion crowd. Lots of boos when he mentions Kavanaugh and Gorsuch.

Schumer: “I want to tell you Justice Kavanaugh and Justice Gorsuch: You have unleashed a whirlwind, and you will pay the price.”

I would think that a Senator threatening some SCOTUS justices is a bad look.

This is why we have lifetime appointments. To protect the integrity of judicial decisions, and to shield judges from threats from the executive and legislature. https://t.co/8EmjxNfVSr

So which brave firefighter will confront Senator Schumer about his violent rhetoric?
Where are the rhetoric police when Schumer is trying to intimidate SCOTUS justices with threats? https://t.co/V10vFQJ1H4

I remember when threatening SCOTUS Justices was banana republic stuff that caused massive vapors on CNN and in the newsroom of the Democracy Dies in Darkness Post. https://t.co/JxJggEMUjw

I was told this kind of intimidation was bad for our freedoms…. Hey guys? Yo journalists?
