U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, D.C.
Democrats are noted for their campaigns to bully the Supreme Court, another branch of government that is separate from their legislative power structure.
It was U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., who at one point threatened that justices wouldn’t know what hit them.
If they ruled against Schumer’s agenda.
An ethics complaint later was filed over his threat, made outside the courthouse, “I want to tell you [Neil] Gorsuch. I want to tell you [Brett] Kavanaugh]. You release the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you.”
It was when the court was considering an abortion case, and the threats were so egregious that even Chief Justice John Roberts called them “dangerous.” Other Democrats have threatened to “pack” the court with their own hand-picked judges in order to gain a majority and the case outcomes that they want.
Are Democrats in Congress guilty of ethics violations for bullying Supreme Court justices?
