I guess Senator Chuck Schumer didn’t take civics very serious while in school. On CNN over the weekend, Chuck Schumer boldly or stupidly declared his own version of the three branches of government to be the House, the Senate, and the President? Just imagine if Sarah Palin had said this; it would be on continuous rotation on the main stream media.

Now just in case you didn’t quite catch what Schumer said, here’s the transcript (via Hot Air):

"So I would urge my Republican colleagues, no matter how strong they feel — you know, we have three branches of government: we have a House, the Senate, we have a President, and all three of us are going to have to come together and give some. But it is playing with fire to risk the shutting down of the government, just as it is playing with fire to risk not paying the debt ceiling."

It’s understandable now why Democrats can pass legislation like the health care law and call it constitutional-most Democrat legislators don’t know the constitution. Would someone please give Senator Schumer a civics textbook please!

To be fair, Sarah Palin had her slip of the tongue moment when she called "North" Korea our allies when talking to Glenn Beck...yes, but when someone like Sarah has a slip of the tongue, it gets played ad nauseum as an indication of her stupidity and foolishness, while when someone like Biden, Schumer, or Matthews has one, its a misunderstanding, taken out of context, or, well, a slip of the tongue.....

The senior Senator from New York, Chuckie Schumer, has served on the Judiciary committee for several years. Being a Senator he obviously knows more about government than your average bear. Therefore there are three branches of government: The House, the Senate and the President. A little known fact is that the Judiciary is that section of government that legislates. The was clarified by the Senator during the Roberts Supreme Court hearings; “Now that he (Roberts) is nominated for a position where he can overturn precedent and make law, it is even more important that he fully answers a very broad range of questions,” You see, the Supreme Court makes laws. Stop criticizing. It is hateful and racist. Just shut up and drink your Koolaid.
