“I don't remember a word when Barack Obama stood in and looked at the justices and personally attacked them at a State of the Union address. But that was just the merest beginning we have had since then. An assassination attempt on the life of a justice, Brett Kavanaugh, has occurred. We have had the current minority leader of the Senate go to the floor, to the steps rather, of the Supreme Court, Chuck Schumer, go to the steps of the court and threaten the justices by name.” (02:57–03:02)
