Schumer: "Sad" About Alito
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), the ranking member of the Judiciary subcommittee on the courts, released the following statement on Pres. Bush's nomination of Judge Samuel Alito for the position of Supreme Court Associate Justice:
"It is sad that the president felt he had to pick a nominee likely to divide America instead of choosing a nominee in the mold of Sandra Day O'Connor, who would unify us. This controversial nominee, who would make the Court less diverse and far more conservative, will get very careful scrutiny from the Senate and from the American people."
Yes, it's said -- but will the Democrats do their damnedest to get past the MSM to convince the American people just how bad Scalito would be for the country?
I hate the repetive line in the "mold of Sandra Day O'Connor". They should say a nominee who is more moderate and in line with most Americans. We have to keep including most Americans as we are an inclusive party.
