"I believe that we are God's noble experiment." Sen. Chuck (E-cheese) Schumer

C-Span 2 | Feb. 5, 2003

Quotes from Chuck Schumer on the floor of the Senate during the past 10 minutes (C-span 2). Working up to a whopper of an excuse for rejecting Miguel Estrada as a judicial candidate. 

 

"For those of us who revere the Constitution and believe in the rule of law...I believe that we are God's noble experiment. The Senate must hold up its end of the bargain. We have a duty to the judiciary, to the Constitution and, yes, to the American people."
"We have an obligation to be vigilant defenders of Constitutional obligation. We must live up to the standards of those who came before us."

 

God is saving the lightning for later, I guess. Chuckie's accusing us of making personal attacks.

 

"It's deeply and solemnly necessary to uphold the will of the founding fathers."

 

Oh, please! Chuckie should read the Constitution again. It would tell him that he is no longer a member of the majority. "Will of the people" and according to the Constitution.

 

"This goes to the very sacred obligation each of us has when we take that oath of office."

I believe that we are God's noble experiment.

Now why would God "experiment" when He already knows what the outcome would be?

"For those of us who revere the Constitution and believe in the rule of law...I believe that we are God's noble experiment.

Can he say that in the Senate? It's a good thing he wasn't in a school or a courtroom. Somebody call the ACLU.

Oh, and I guess it all depends on the what the meaning of the word "we" is. Was he referring to Americans, Senators, Jews, Democrats?

Somebody help me. My brain hurts again.

It seems Schumer approves of Judges who represent Episcopal religious groups.

Maybe he would approve of Bush's choices if they would mention that they are Episcopalian.[/sarcasm]

From Schumer's website: PRESIDENT CLINTON NOMINATES LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN TO FEDERAL DISTRICT JUDGESHIP

Schumer Lauds Wise Choice of "Unique Voice" for the Southern District of New York

Swain has also held numerous leadership roles in the Grace Church in New York and the Diocese of New York of the Episcopal Church. "Judge Swain has accumulated vast and diverse experiences in New York's legal and religious communities," said Schumer. "These experiences place her in an ideal position to serve the people of New York with fairness and compassion."

Schumer likes to rule with an iron fist, but only about issues that are important to him.

Schumer said this in 1996
[Excerpted from a thread on Free Republic--Flower Child Fascism ]

If we do not stand up to these dark forces of hatred and evil, mark my words, they will not simply kill and maim hundreds of innocent Americans, they could destroy America."

He was talking about the militia movement in the US (and anything he thought was related to it). I'd love to hear him speak the same words about terrorism originating outside the US.

I have been working on the secret names for Chuckie Schumerde.

Some of them include:

Senator Putz.

Senator Schumbag.

I would like to hear everyone's suggestions. Perhaps, we can make a list of them and have them sent to the slimeball.

I forgot to say that Chuckie Schumerde, aka Senator Putz, aka Senator Schumbag, is a damned racist.

One thing is for certain Chuckie has his head where the 'Sun does not shine'.
