But that isn't the point. Protected speech, protected though it may be, can and often does, have consequences. People think just because it is protected that we cannot act on it. That is ignorant of what the first amendment is all about.

Use of the "N" word isn't the same as Senator Schumer, a Legislature Branch Representative, specifically and publicly threatening 2 Judicial Branch Representatives with actions if they don't side with him... That's tantamount to extortion... And that is cause for Sanctioning by his Legislative Body, the Senate...

My point was that failure to condemn Schumer's remarks based on it being "protected" is beside the point.
Clearly.., censure was in order.
Furthermore.., comparing it to Trump's reference to a Federal Judge as an "Obama Judge" is ridiculous. Judges have been so categorized by who appointed them FOREVER.

Do not yell”FIRE”in a crowded theatre if there is no fire. As for Shumer’s remarks, well we all know that he’s a idiot, so if he choses to confirm it, let him.

Kind of like "What difference does it make now?" A lot. Threatening Scotus whether we see what was said or not ain't the point. We've seen him with Soros, a few Soros really, now this? Get ready Chucky does the phrase brownshirts tell you anything? Ours are a different color, same idea though.
