Threat...

Mr. Schumer was speaking before abortion-rights activists as the Supreme Court considers whether to curtail the ability of abortion providers to sue on behalf of women seeking abortions—a doctrine known as third-party standing. 
Mr. Schumer, still addressing  Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, added: “You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”
The “whirlwind”? “What hit you”?
 This is an incitement to violence against a federal agent, and surely was a threat of political reprisal against the Justices if they don’t vote the way Mr. Schumer wants.  
The remarks drew a rare and pointed public rebuke from Chief Justice John Roberts, who said: “Justices know that criticism comes with the territory, but threatening statements of this sort from the highest levels of government are not only inappropriate, they are dangerous. All Members of the Court will continue to do their job, without fear or favor, from whatever quarter.”
