Radio host Glenn Beck said that President Trump should have Utah senator Mike Lee ready to go as a backup if Brett Kavanaugh does not make it to the Supreme Court.

Beck imagined on his show a scenario in which Kavanaugh would quit or get voted down. “Let’s just say Brett Kavanaugh is hit by a plane tomorrow,” he said.

“You need to announce that Mike Lee is the candidate, we’re going to get this done before the election. Of course they’re going to go crazy because Mike Lee is uber pro-life, and he would vote, uh…” Beck said.

“Whatever it is, that press conference, you have to say: Here’s my next nominee. And we’re going to have it done before the election. Now, in my opinion, the only one that can stand that is Mike Lee,” Glenn Beck said.

“You have four weeks. The one who doesn’t need all the FBI checks and all that is Mike Lee. It’s already been done. He’s a senator,” Beck said.

Brett Kavanaugh submitted to six complete background investigations for his various work with the federal government, and he is now on his seventh.

Chuck Schumer Threatens Supreme Court Justices: “You Will Pay the Price”

Chilling language.

Chuck Schumer outright threatened two Supreme Court Justices when speaking at a pro-abortion event on Wednesday, using vengeful and vindictive language when discussing recent pro-life court case rulings reached by the court.

Watch here:

“I want to tell you, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh…. You have unleashed the whirlwind, and you will pay the price! You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”

Such rhetoric might be expected in one of Kim Jong Un’s regular missive of threats against the United States. But it’s shocking to hear a sitting Senate Majority Leader slam nonpartisan Supreme Court Justices in such a bold fashion, totally disregarding the court’s traditional independence from everyday politics.

The rally by a pro-abortion group was being held in advance of an expected court ruling on a Louisiana abortion law. The law requires abortionists to have admitting privileges at state hospitals.

Republican legislators slammed Schumer for his irresponsible and threatening rhetoric at the abortion rally after footage of his language was seen on Twitter.

Did Senate Democrat leader Schumer just threaten two conservative justices? Where is the media?

Schumer may have been alluding to potential Democratic plans to impeach Kavanaugh, and possibly even Gorsuch, removing them from the Supreme Court. The Court’s now conservative majority has placed a major stumbling block in the way of the Left’s preferred strategy of seizing power through judicial activism.

Schumer’s unprecedented language, especially coming from a senior party official who should remain level-headed, demonstrates the Democratic Party’s willing to cast aside all formal norms of federal politics and government. They’re willing to do whatever it takes in order to get their way.
