Mark Levin calls for Schumer to be investigated over threat to Supreme Court

Addressing the threat for which Schumer later apologized, Levin wrote earlier this week, “Chuck Schumer’s direct threats today against two Supreme Court justices absolutely does endanger them. The Chief Justice said as much. Schumer also insisted that the justices rule on an active case as he demands.”

He added in another tweet, “Schumer should be sanctioned by the Bar, admonished by the Senate, investigated by the Senate ethics committee, and even reviewed by the DOJ. No individual, let alone the Senate Democrat leader, who is also a lawyer, should escape accountability for his loathsome conduct.”

Landmark Legal Foundation, a national public interest law firm that has ties to Levin, sent a letter to the Senate Ethics Committee requesting an investigation into whether Schumer “has engaged in improper conduct warranting discipline.” The group, which says it’s committed “to preserving the principles of limited government, separation of powers, and federalism,” called for a reprimand and a potential censure of the New York senator. The letter also notes that expulsion from the Senate is a potential remedy.

Levin, who served as the organization’s president for more than two decades, now currently serves as the chairman of the board.

Schumer’s remarks earned rebukes from both President Trump and Chief Justice John Roberts.
