Talk about obstruction.

Schumer to fight new Bush high court picks

New York Sen. Charles E. Schumer, a powerful member of the Democratic leadership, said Friday the Senate should not confirm another U.S. Supreme Court nominee under President Bush ?except in extraordinary circumstances.?

?We should reverse the presumption of confirmation,? Schumer told the American Constitution Society convention in Washington. ?The Supreme Court is dangerously out of balance. We cannot afford to see Justice Stevens replaced by another Roberts, or Justice Ginsburg by another Alito.?

Schumer?s assertion comes as Democrats and liberal advocacy groups are increasingly complaining that the Supreme Court with Bush?s nominees ? Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justice Samuel A. Alito ? has moved quicker than expected to overturn legal precedents.

?There is no doubt that we were hoodwinked,? said Schumer, who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee and heads the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

Hoodwinked by a chimp again, LOL.

Schumer is a scoundrel, working his butt off, again, to hurt America. GW has appointed nothing but top-quality Justices. I didn't support his effort to appoint the chick from Texas, though. I thought that was ill-advised, but the others are top-flight. GO, BUSH, GO!!!!!!:thumbup: :thumbup:

Bush appointed what amounted to ideological Neanderthals...we don't need to turn time back to Jim Crow, and pre-civil rights era...we need to be progressive in our thinking and our legislation, that insures the rights of all, including those considered, "the other"....and preserve a woman's right to choose....now, if you want to legislate concerning your own sexual organs, that's one thing...but where does a man get off telling a woman what she can or cannot do with her own body? Why don't you get a mandatory vasectomy, despite the fact that you're probably shooting blanks, anyway...but, just go ahead and get one for good measure....Don't feel so good , being told what to do, do it?
Ever heard of reciprocity...if not...pull out a dictionary, and don't be troubled by the big words.....LOL
