A SETBACK FOR SCHUMER

February 1, 2003 -- Senate Democrats, led by New York's Chuck Schumer, have lost - for now, anyway: President Bush's nomination of the highly regarded, eminently qualified Miguel Estrada to the U.S. Court of Appeals will come to the full Senate for a vote.

Time to tell the Schumfuhrer to go to hell.

ditto... he's a lens lice butthead

You took the words right out of my mouth. Hope this is the first of many setbacks....

[BUSHdude2000]

But Schumer & Co., plumbing the depths of demagoguery, still hope to block the nomination of a man guilty only of a refusal to embrace left-wing political orthodoxies.

That is such a great (and true) comment.

It doesn't work. He goes there, and then he comes back. The last time he brought Satan's sister with him.

[Holding Our Breath]

He's up to his old tricks aagain; speaking without putting the brain in geaar!

[Jimmy Valentine's brother]

Chuckie is well on his way to becoming the junior Senator from New York. Oops maybe it's the fomer Senator from New York.

The Democrats are completely delusional and on autopilot.

The Democrats are completely delusional and on autopilot.

And not a very good autopilot. Several years ago I was allowed to tour the bridge of a cruise ship. They were showing off the autopilot and commented they needed to always have someone on the bridge, since the autopilot would blithly run them aground if left to its own devices.

[IonInsights]

Mine too. Good luck.

Chuckie Schumer has the following aliases:

Chuck the Schmuck

Senator Putz

Chuckie Schumerde (think French)

[TC Rider]

Senator Putz

My recollection is that Al Damato actually christened him as 'Putzhead'. A minor distinction to be sure, but somehow more appropriate.

[monocle]

Trial lawyers are the largest organization of character assassins and they support the Democrats with big bucks and provide superb training for current and future Democrats. More centrist courts would eviscerate the ability of Democrats to promote their agenda by character assassination.

Schumer embodies most that is truly vile about the Democrats. We should thank him.

The American Bar Association (hardly a far-right bastion) unanimously rated him "well-qualified"

I don't know that this is a good thing. Any time the ABA endorses someone like that, my caution light comes on. Nothing noted in this article of qualifications would tell me that he knows the difference between right and wrong. "Qualified" doesn't quite cut it.

President Eisenhower thought that Earl Warren knew right from wrong, but admitted later that Warren's appointment was "..the biggest damn fool mistake I ever made."
