The Daily Caller reminds us of a time when there was a possibility that the next Presidential nominee to the Supreme Court could tilt the balance in a way that alarmed the opposition party. From their link to what is now ancient history at Politico, here is Amy Schumer's cousin in 2007:
Schumer to fight new Bush high court picks
By Carrie Budoff Brown
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.”
And some words of wisdom from wily old Chuck that will also be expunged:
Schumer said there were four lessons to be learned from Alito and Roberts: Confirmation hearings are meaningless, a nominee’s record should be weighed more heavily than rhetoric, “ideology matters” and “take the president at his word.”
“When a president says he wants to nominate justices in the mold of [Antonin] Scalia and [Clarence] Thomas,” Schumer said, “believe him.
But whatever Obama says will be fine.
Man,the things we're gonna do once we get a Liberal Supreme court.I used to liken Scalia to Frodo Baggins, taking the Liberal ring of Power to Mount doom to destroy it.
Guess what? Frodo didn't make it.
Mwuauauauaahahaahahahah.
And what's even better is that Hillary Clinton will be nominating the next Supreme court justice.
Abortion on tap,the end of the 2nd amendment,free health care for all,Affirmative action EVERYWHERE,equal pay,Voting laws changed to ensure a permanent Democratic majority.......and don't even start on the ugly insidious things we're going to do to Christians......basically the end of Conservative America.
