How do you interpret otherwise? Schumer specifically couched the sow/reap metaphor in political terms:sow:Republican legislatures take away rights.If Gorsuch and Kavanaugh go forward with these decisionsreap:Trump and Senate Republicans will gone in November
"you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions."
Judges are not associated with a political party, so the connection between unaffiliated judges and the Republican party is a bit of a stretch. He said specifically that they would pay the price. They won't know what him them
A year and a half later, Schumer is parroting Kavanaugh's statement back at him.When Kavanaugh used the phrase, nobody insisted that the statement necessarily implied violence or anything but political consequence.Reaping the whirlwind is 2500 year old figure of speech that normal people use all the time. If Republicans generally have suddenly turned ignorant of the phrase's ordinary usages, that ignorance is only by choice.
Ok, so they both use an odd, ancient Hebrew phrase. The difference would be in the context. Schumer specifically pointed out two judges and said they would suffer harsh consequences.
Kavanaugh would have had to have been saying that an armed revolt would be happening against the whole country for decades, which makes no sense. It also wasn't in relation to a sensitive topic, merely referencing his defamation.
Not much substance to debate here. Schumer was either careless in his word choice, or he is trying to cover his ass.
