No wonder Sen. Schumer's upset

Ed Morrissey at Captainsquartersblog.com has an excellent post on the Roberts nomination. Ed notes that New York's Senator Charles Schumer is one of those especially upset with the President's nomination of Justice Roberts for the Supreme Court.

The following may help explain why. It's part of an answer Roberts gave to Schumer during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Roberts nomination to the appellate bench.

My own judicial philosophy begins with an appreciation of the limited role of a judge in our system of divided powers. Judges are not to legislate and are not to execute the laws. . . . My judicial philosophy accordingly insists upon some rigor in ensuring that judges properly confine themselves to the adjudication of the case before them, and seek neither to legislate broadly not to administer the law generally in deciding that case.

Maalox is good for heartburn, Senator
