Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Monday floated that the Senate could force President Trump to name a moderate to the Supreme Court — if they reject his "extreme" nominee first.
"If the Senate rejects an extreme candidate, it would present President Trump the opportunity to instead select a moderate, consensus nominee," Schumer wrote in a New York Times op-ed.
With Republicans holding a slim 51-49 majority, Democrats don't have the ability to block whoever Trump nominates to fill the vacancy being created by Justice Anthony Kennedy's decision to retire at the end of the month.
But because Republicans have a "razor-thin" margin, Schumer argues, picking up one or two Republican senators to vote against Trump's pick "will make the difference between the confirmation and rejection of an ideological nominee."
"While the number of Democrats in the Senate is not a majority, the number of senators who believe in protections for those with pre-existing conditions and women’s reproductive rights is a majority of the Senate. Given this vacancy, the best way to defend those rights is for a bipartisan majority in the Senate to lock arms and reject a Supreme Court nominee who would overturn them," Schumer wrote in the Times op-ed.

Right . . . and pigs will start flying
Keep dreaming, Chuckie!
Better get started on that schmuckey.
If Mcturtle can’t wrangle the RINOs for this vote he really is pathetic.
“Moderate” = pinko to the likes of Schumer.
>>the Senate could force President Trump to name a moderate to the Supreme Court
But in perspective, Chuckie considers Ginsberg to be “moderate”.
Then there's the definition of "extreme".
Chuck “the snake” Schumer is openly daydreaming. Republicans are united against lunatic liberals like seldom seen.
Hey Chucky - “we won”. Got it?
Schumer still thinks the democrats are in control.
If they manage to block his first appointment he
won’t moderate on the second.
Keep it up and they end up with a more radical conservative.
Another win for Trump and the American people!
Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Monday floated that the Senate could force President Trump to name a moderate to the Supreme Court — if they reject his “extreme” nominee first.
—
Yeah, right. Chuckie would define Maxine Waters as “moderate” and anyone to the right of Mutt Romney as “extreme.”
Ah, I see Chuck has gone from Denial to Anger and is now on to Bargaining.
Next up Chuck - DEPRESSION
FUCS-A moderate is someone without opinion.
... Chuckie considers Ginsberg to be “moderate...
He mistakenly believes that Ginsberg, the Wise Latina, and Kagan are all mainstream.
To the left, everything is “extreme” that is not extreme left.
Trump will pick a woman and watch the Fur Fly
Schumer keeps trying to convince people Democrats are really in control.
We'll just wait til after Mideterms, we'll probably fet another 5+ new Senators!!!
