Schumer Up Now

Remarkable unity in Democrat caucus (kind of like Mafia)

Vote today boils down to one issue: should the Senate have any role in selection of judges, that simple.

Attempt made to obliterate advise and consent

Not about one man, not about one issue, not about whether ideology should be taken into accoutn (as Schu,er believes)

Last several months made a mockery of advice and consent

Interesting: Schumer playing the "Dem Senators are victims" card. So they will vote for Estrada, then use it to campaign for Senate majority citing they were victims and couldn't stop the judges appointed by Bush.
