For John, BLUF: Senator Schumer and his clique, blow hot and cold on the Federal Judiciary, including the US Supreme Court. Nothing to see here; just move along.

Here is the lede plus three:
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) slammed the Supreme Court’s “disgraceful” decision Monday to shield former President Trump’s official acts from prosecution, which will delay his trial on Jan. 6-related charges.Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumr (D-NY) has a history of opposing rulings of the US Supreme Court, even threatennig Justices..Schumer warned the 6-3 decision “enables the former President to weaken our democracy by breaking the law.”
“This is a sad day for America and a sad day for our democracy. The very basis of our judicial system is that no one is above the law. Treason or incitement of insurrection should not be considered a core constitutional power afforded to a president,” he said.
Schumer also warned that the Supreme Court has undermined its credibility, echoing the criticisms of other Senate Democrats who have accused conservative justices on the court of becoming partisan players.
I use Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer as a sort of bellweather. If he is against it, it must be good.
I wonder if Senator Schumer has even read the US Supreme Court decision, TRUMP v. UNITED STATES, which is 111 pages, with dissents. The decision itself, written by Chief Justice John Robers, is 43 pages.
Probably not. Too much work.
