Cornyn has just exposed Schumer as the clown he is. Wonderful.

Schumer was quite skillful in accomplishing what he wanted to do, which was put the picture of Alito saying back when that there was no constitutional right to abortion in a frame of other judges writing that they thought Alito was not following precedent. It is a good way to get folks who are pro Roe more nervous about Alito. The only misstep is that in the long list of 3rd circuit cases, Schumer accidently tossed out a life raft to Alito by adding one where apparently Alito cited a SCOTUS case, rather than ignoring 3rd circuit precedent per se, and was in the majority. Alito grabbed the raft, and hugged it. Schumer was probably saying to himself, "I hate when that happens."

The interchange will probably be about as good as it gets from an entertainment perspective.
