Chuck Schumer, minority leader in the U.S. Senate and fellow college classmate, apologized for his intemperate remarks regarding the Supreme Court. He was taken to task by Mitch McConnell in the well of the Senate, and by Chief Justice Roberts. It was deserved. I think what he was trying to say was that Republicans will pay the price at the polls for their attempts to overturn Roe vs. Wade, but Schumer can speak for himself.
What I didn’t hear from McConnell was any criticism when the President attacked Justices Ginsburg and Sotamayor, or any push back when the President attacked the foreman on the Stone jury. Trump tweeted about the judge on that case with no repercussions. McConnell was silent when Trump referred to “Obama judges.” “Mitch the Mute” said nothing when Trump attacked a federal judge because he was of Mexican descent. Trump has criticized the courts, and law enforcement repeatedly, and Mitch has said nothing. Mitch engineered one of the greatest heists of all time in getting Neil Gorsuch on the Supreme Court. McConnell and Trump will reap the whirlwind that Schumer so inelegantly referred to.
