The Smarmy Carny

The Drudge Report overheard liberal New York Senator Chuck Schumer talking about the Supreme Court nominees on his cell phone during an Amtrak ride. Schumer claimed that "We are contemplating how we are going to go to war over this."

Schumer reportedly hinted that they wanted to make sure that the President and Republicans chose a nominee who was more moderate than anticipated, much like the retiring O'Connor, and much unlike Justice Antonin Scalia.

As expected, Schumer dismissed the "Gang of 14" filibuster agreement as irrelevant to any Supreme Court nominee. Did anyone see that one coming?
