Cynical Use of Power

For John, BLUF:  This is a flashback to when then Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer threatened the members of the US Supreme Court, less than a year ago.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Schumer tells justices they will 'pay the price' in angry rebuke

From CNN, a Flashback to Early 2020.

Here is the lede:

Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer, speaking at a rally of abortion rights supporters, appeared to threaten Supreme Court Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch, President Donald Trump's two Supreme Court nominees who were confirmed after bruising nomination fights.

I think that Senator Chuck Schumer has memory problems.  He can't remember when he threated the members of the US Supreme Court.  Worse than President Trump threated the US Congress on 6 January 2021.  Or, he is just another NYC hypocrite.  Things were better before 2000, when Senator Schumer and Senator Clinton were elected.  People like Senators Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Al D'Amato, James L Buckley, Robert F Kennedy, Jacob Javits, John Foster Dulles, Robert F Wagner and Elihu Root.

We are not seeing leadership from our Senate Majority Leader, Charles Schumer.  We are seeing naked cynicism.  I hope that Senator Schumer experiences some sort of a change of heart, and expresses that.
