Schumer and Durbin have wisely refused to show their hand.

The use of the word "wisely" as an adverb in a sentence that begins with "Schumer and Durbin" breaks several rules of grammar and proper English usage, with the only possible exception being something along the lines of "Schumer and Durbin were finally and wisely expelled from the judiciary committee as a result of their complete ignorance of the Constitution and aversion for the rule of law."

I prefer the British English word, "cleverly" instead of "wisely."
