If calling out justices by name were a crime, I know somebody else who should have gotten rebuked as well. But didn't. There is no answer to your question.
He did not threaten them with anything. He just said they'd reap the whirlwind. Again, I find it stunning that all of a sudden Roberts cares about this kind of rhetoric when he's given the last three years a pass.
When else has this type of rhetoric been used against Supreme Court Justices by a Senator in the last 3 years.

By a senator, no. But there has been a lot of hateful rhetoric tweeted out there that has been ignored. You can let go of your pearls now. He apologized.

Oh Stop.
You know it was reprehensible for a US Senator, let alone the minority leader of the Democrats in the US Senate to threaten those justices like that.

So why pretend Roberts comments are surprising, or that some randoms tweeting is the same as the senate minority leader doing something worse.

Surely Schumer had some price in mind when he said it. What could it have been? Or is he just saying nasty threats because he is a nasty jerk?
He did not say he would make them pay the price like another poster said. What do you think he's going to do? LOL.
If the dems take back the Senate, they can censure or start impeachment proceeding against the two justices. Even if the two men are not impeached in the House, the dems can conduct a public hearing where they repeat the disgusting Kavanaugh hearings and destroy both men's character.
That's what Schumer can potentially do.
This argument of yours is getting really silly, is it okay in your view for Schumer and any other member of Congress to threaten SCOTUS justices? Never mind, I'm done even responding to you.
I agree with John Roberts statement today regarding Schumer, same as in his criticism of Trump.
Trump is probably not the best arbiter of threats or stupid statements.
