More balance from the "Paper of (an Awful) Record" than I would have expected. Upchuck is a radical socialist--they should have called him that.

I despised him in the House.Nothing's changed.

But Mr. Long reiterated his long-held contention that Mr. Schumer has shown a bias against judicial candidates who display deeply held Roman Catholic beliefs against abortion and gay rights. "He's not a bigot," he said. "But he has a very strong bias."

He is bigoted against Catholics. He and the dems have filibustered them, because their prejudices have determined all Catholics unfit for office. What else is it but that?

Shoe-muck is a Lens Louse Liberal.

Charles Schumer + John W. Hechinger Foundation (Hechinger Hardware)+ Handgun Control, Inc.

Somewhere in ~Kim4VRWC's~'s 2nd Amendment pages, their associations are explained.

Yous Guys can call him all the names you want as well as I, but it will not change the fact that these prix like Schoomer malign and smear Bush's judicials nominees.

What are "WE" going to do about it? Because obviously the dem tactics are working and Frist's and the wobbly Repubs are not!

[mewzilla]

I live in Upstate NY. All I can say is What success? Sure haven't seen Chucky or any of his success up here. But then wasn't Chucky the guy who said that he thought civilization ended west of the Hudson?

The little innuendoes like this ”Mr. Schumer has used almost every maneuver available to a Senate Judiciary Committee member to block the appointment of the more controversial judges nominated by the Bush administration,

President Bush has nominated judges who have impeccable records and are constitutionalists, they rule by law not by the bench/special interest.This then makes them controversial?

As for filibusters, if done in the original manner, no one goes out of the room; if they (Dems) want to obstruct further, then I think the GOP had better lock and load!

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

After all President BUSH has done to avenge 9-11 this fool now wants to play "stab you in the back."

I hope people remember this at election time, but they won't.

[I still care]

"Some of this has Mr. Schumer puzzled. He sees himself largely as a moderate"

OK, here is the American Conservative Union Voting Record (the lower the number, the more liberal. Jesse Helms,for instance, has 99.)

Hillary Clinton (D) - - - - - - - - - - + - - - - - - - + - 10 12 2 /Life Record - 11

Charles Schumer (D) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - + + 10 16 22 /Life Record - 6

As you can see, Schumer has a more liberal voting record than Hillary. He knows he's no moderate, the liar.

And shame on the NYT for even letting him get by with saying that, without countering it.

[Unam Sanctam]

Chuck Schumer is a moderate the way Howard Dean is a moderate, i.e., the left-wing media wants to hoodwink centrist readers into believing that these people are not as extreme and bigoted against traditional religious believers as they truly are.

[DumpsterDiver]

"You have to pick your shots," he [Schumer] said.

Interesting choice of words, Chuckie.

[syriacus]

It was also Mr. Schumer's staff that dug up controversial information about certain Bush nominees and then disseminated it to reporters and Democrats. Among the handouts were the writings of James Leon Holmes, a lawyer and former president of Arkansas Right to Life, who wrote that conception from rape occurs with "the same frequency as snowfall in Miami" and who compared abortion-rights advocates to Nazis.

Red alert!!!

J. Leon Holmes was the lawyer that Pryor (and Daschle?) said, today, should be voted on (very soon) for a judgeship.

Pryor acted all innocent as he "wondered out loud" why Bush's nominee, Holmes, hasn't gotten consideration by the Republicans in the Judiciary committee.

Pryor neglected to mention the hatchet job Schumer had done on Holmes.

[Gritty]

There is a lot of competition for the Smarmiest And Worst Liberal In The Whole Wide World. IMHO, Schmuckie leads the pack, hands down.

There is nobody else in this world I would rather get into the ring with, no time limit, no holds barred....

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Any dirt on him?

I'm not in the Senate, I believe in fighting fire with fire. Fighting to win does not mean fighting dirty.

Mr. Schumer can also afford to pick this fight for another important reason, political strategists say. He has amassed nearly $18 million in campaign funds, even as Republicans are scrambling to find a candidate to run against him next year.

RUN RUDI, RUN!!!!

[Tench_Coxe]

I'd love to see a ringer put in. One that calmly asks some of these jerks: " So, Senator So and So, are you saying in a circumspect manner that my religous beliefs disqualify me from the office? If so, you are in violation of the oath you took."
