tives that Charles ‘‘Chuck’’ Schumer, Senator of

Kavanaugh and Justice Gorsuch for making 
threats and sowing seeds of discord; and 
(B) issue a public statement that threats 
towards members of any of the three branches 
of the Federal Government are not an appro-
priate reaction for anyone—especially those in 
elected office—to express disagreement with 
any duly elected or appointed member of the ex-
ecutive, legislative, or judicial branch.
