(I think that's what he's doing but it's a false equation) because there are two votes involved...my vote for Senator and my vote for President.
If I were debating Schumer (or any dem) and they brought that argument into the debate (about population of their states)---
MY retort would be that by not letting Bush's nominees to come out for a floor vote on the Senate floor, the FEW dem senators that are on the judiciary committee are disenfranshizing MILLIONS more people, whose states have NO senator on the judiciary committee, which in effect keeps the whole state from having ANY say in the process of voting on judges.
