Mitch McConnell is going to use the Senate floor this morning to go after Chuck Schumer for saying Supreme Court justices would, quote, pay the price for anti-abortion rulings. On Wednesday, Schumer said this outside the Supreme Court. He said, I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you Kavanaugh, you have released a whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions. Chief Justice John Robert rebukes Schumer. Now McConnell is set to pour gasoline on the controversy by addressing it on the Senate floor. Here's what McConnell will say. Contrary to what the Democratic leader has tried to |

| 1:27.4 | Barack Obama, that won't happen. |
| 1:29.2 | Michelle Obama, Mitt Romney, and Florida Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Freed. Speaking at a |
| 1:34.0 | Bel Air fundraiser last night, here's Joe Biden on his wife stopping protesters from rushing |
| 1:38.3 | the stage in Los Angeles. I'm probably the only candidate running for president whose wife |
| 1:43.1 | is my secret service. |
| 1:44.5 | You don't screw around with a Philly girl. |
| 1:46.7 | I'll tell you what. |
