Chuck Schumer: Congress Should Only Accept Liberal Judges

In other words Democrats should only approve of leftist, abortion supporting, gay rights approving, card-carrying members of the ACLU. That sounds like what ol' Chuck is saying here:

New York Sen. Charles E. Schumer, a powerful member of the Democratic leadership, said Friday the Senate should not confirm another U.S. Supreme Court nominee under President Bush “except in extraordinary circumstances.”

“We should reverse the presumption of confirmation,” Schumer told the American Constitution Society convention in Washington. “The Supreme Court is dangerously out of balance. We cannot afford to see Justice Stevens replaced by another Roberts, or Justice Ginsburg by another Alito.”

. . . Senators were too quick to accept the nominees’ word that they would respect legal precedents, and “too easily impressed with the charm of Roberts and the erudition of Alito,” Schumer said. “There is no doubt that we were hoodwinked,” said Schumer, who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee and heads the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

Republicans were also "hoodwinked" by Bill Clinton when he nominated ultra-liberal Ruth Ginsburg to SCOTUS in '92, but she still got in by a vote of 96-3. I'm sure one more Ginsburg clone on SCOTUS would give Chuck that "balance" he desperately so craves.
