#shorts Cornyn: Schumer makes a threat, impact? assassination attempt on Kavanaugh
The senator is aware that there was an assassination attempt on a sitting Supreme Court Justice, Justice Kavanaugh, are you aware of that? Yes, can you have an opinion about what the impact on an unstable mind might be when the majority leader of the United States Senate stands up in front of the Supreme Court of the United States and makes a threat against the court? What the impact might be on an unstable mind?

Kennedy: Well, it could be. I’m not a psychiatrist or a psychologist, but I think most of us, all of us have common sense. I think it would be extraordinary

On 7/20/2023, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted, 11-10 along party lines, to approve Sheldon Whitehouse’s (D-R.I.) bill that would overhaul ethics and transparency requirements for the Supreme Court, a move Republicans regard as an erosion of separation of powers and an attack on the conservative court. Whitehouse, one of Congress’ leading critics of the court, said Congress must act because the justices have failed to implement any meaningful reforms on their own. “You don’t have to be Oliver Wendell Scalia to figure out that this legislation is meant to be a court-killing machine,” Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) said. “This thing’s dead as fried chicken on the Senate floor and it’s dead as fried chicken in the House.”

Republicans said the entire Democratic effort was an act of retaliation aimed at the high court’s 6-3 conservative supermajority and its decisions last year. Republicans repeatedly referenced Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s impassioned statement on the steps of the Supreme Court in March 2020 warning Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh that they “have released the whirlwind.” Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.), ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Federal Courts, Oversight, Agency Action, and Federal Rights, explained the danger that the Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal, and Transparency Act of 2023 poses to the U.S. Supreme Court and the constitutionally-mandated balance of powers.
