THE QUICK FACTS

• On Wednesday, March 4th, Senator Chuck Schumer made controversial remarks at a rally outside the Supreme Court while a high-profile abortion case was underway.
• Schumer warned Supreme Court Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch not to rule against reproductive rights, specifically stating, "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..."
• These comments led to an unusual rebuke from Chief Justice John Roberts, who stated, “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..."
• On Thursday morning, Schumer apologized, saying “I’m from Brooklyn; we speak in strong language... I shouldn’t have used the words I did, but in no way was I making a threat. I never — never — would do such a thing.”
