Just as the Supreme Court heard arguments in a case that would could affect abortion providers, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) appeared to threaten two of the court’s justices, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, during a speech at a nearby pro-abortion rally.

“I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh: You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions,” Schumer said in the March 4 speech, pointing his finger toward the Supreme Court building behind him.
