Source: NBC News
WASHINGTON — Chief Justice John Roberts publicly chastised Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Wednesday over comments Schumer made outside the Supreme Court as the justices were hearing a case on abortion rights.
Schumer, D-N.Y., suggested that President Donald Trump's court appointees, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, "won't know what hit" them if they vote to uphold abortion restrictions. He spoke during a rally on the sidewalk in front of the court building.
"I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price," Schumer said.
In a highly unusual written statement issued late Wednesday, Roberts said, "Statements of this sort from the highest levels of government are not only inappropriate, they are dangerous." "All members of the Court will continue to do their job, without fear or favor, from whatever quarter," Roberts said.

Biscuits and sausage gravy
That got your attention, didn't it? 
Well, who here loves biscuits and sausage gravy? I sure do, and as a matter of fact had it for dinner! Does anyone have their own special recipe? What are your secrets?
Alabama Senate polls
This is a couple of weeks ago, but it's the first I'm hearing of it. The real bad news is that this poll came before Jones voted to convict Trump, yikes! Anyway, here's a snip:
All three of them would beat Mr. Jones, according to the poll.
The poll found Mr. Sessions beating Mr. Jones 54%-41%, while Mr. Tuberville led him 50%-42% and Mr. Byrne by 51%-42%.
Overall, Mr. Jones came out underwater, with 47% of those polled viewing him unfavorably and just 31% favorably.
The poll was conducted while the Senate was mulling its vote in President Trump’s impeachment trial. Mr. Trump remains popular in Alabama, and Mr. Jones‘ Feb. 5 vote to remove him was regarded by some Alabama prognosticators as a death sentence to his reelection prospects.
