Chuck Schumer Tells Church: KBJ Confirmation Was “The Stone Rolling Away From the Tomb” by Steven Ertelt for Life News
Democrat leader Chuck Schumer spoke at a church on Easter Sunday and made one of the most sacrilegious comments a politician has made in recent history. He told churchgoers that the confirmation of Ketanji Brown Jackson was so monumental that “the stone has been rolled away from the tomb.”
That was the heretical way in which the New York senator described his elation at the Senate barely confirming the first black woman on the Supreme Court despite her radical pro-abortion record and history of giving light sentences to child abusers and pornographers.
Schumer spoke from the pulpit of AR Bernard’s NYC megachurch during “Resurrection Sunday” service.

“Even in the darkest times, there are bright lights. And this month, folks, we witnessed one of the brightest that we hope is a metaphor, an indication, a good omen of more bright lights to come, the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice KBJ,” he said, before making the comment abut how “the stone has been rolled away from the tomb.”

The Senate confirmed Jackson earlier this month. The vote was 53-47 with Republicans Mitt Romney, Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins voting with all 50 Democrats to confirm her. The other 47 Republicans banded together to oppose Jackson’s confirmation.
“I see hallmarks of judicial activism in Judge Jackson’s record. Therefore, I will vote no,” Republican Lead Mitch McConnell said Thursday morning ahead of the vote.
“We’ve seen over and over that when judicial activism triumphs over fidelity to the rule of law, our courts mutate, mutate into clumsy proxy battlefields for arguments that belong in this chamber and out in 50 state legislatures,” McConnell said. “This is unfair to the American people. It damages our institutions, not the least the courts themselves.”
