"The Editorial Board USA TODAY - 2020
For the Senate's Democratic leader to stand on the front steps of the Supreme Court and furiously shout words that sound very much like a threat against two high court justices is unseemly and warrants a full-throated apology. "I want to tell you, Gorsuch; I want to tell you, Kavanaugh: You have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer roared Wednesday to a crowd of protesters angry over a Louisiana case before the court that threatens abortion rights. "You won't know what hit if you go forward with these awful decisions." To refer to conservative justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh by their last names was disrespectful. To seemingly menace them about a pending decision was beyond the pale. The remarks earned a rare and deserved rebuke hours later, when Chief Justice John Roberts said Schumer's words were "not only inappropriate; they are dangerous."
Did AOC or any other Democrat in the House or Senate rebuke these statements from Senator Schumer. Of course, the answer is no.
Articles of Impeachment against POTUS or Supreme Court judge are basically for show. There is no way in hell you will get 2/3 of the Senate to vote to convict. Even with slim majority in the House, I think the "weak knee" Republicans this one time might be strong enough to vote that down.
As for AOC, never has so little gone so far. She is what you would call a "empty suit". If you like somebody who helped lose thousands of high paying jobs (Amazon) for NY and millions in revenue, she is your girl. Governor Cuomo was so ticked off at her - lol. To paraphrase statement from Nancy Pelosi, you could run a glass of water with a "D" next to it and win her district.
