Someone once said that the two most dangerous creatures on God's earth are a wounded tiger and a liberal who's just had his limousine repossessed.
There's another kind of liberal who's less dangerous but often very angry. Such liberals feel they know everything. That's what allows them to always want to decide how other people should live their lives.
Nothing upsets those liberals more than a situation in which it's obvious someone else knows more than they do about anything.
So I'm sure you'll understand that I felt a little sympathy today for Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) when I read a The New York Times story concerning White House consultation with Senators regarding the Supreme Court nomination:
Senator Charles E. Schumer, the New York Democrat who is on the judiciary panel, said that it was "consultation in name only" and that Ms. Miers (that would be White House counsel Harriet E. Miers - ed) called him last week to ask for suggestions in a conversation that lasted less than five minutes.How tough that must have been for Schumer.
"There is no back and forth," he said. "It's just, 'Give us some names.' I said to her, 'Look, I'd like to know who the president is considering.' And she didn't say anything."

Think of the self-aggrandizing speech he can now make at the next ineffectual judiciary hearing....

Schumer just wanted the names so he could try to keep up with the reading. As the last round of hearings proved he's not a quick study!
I do agree with John. Something is being brewed inside the mind of Schumer. Whatever it is, we just have to wait and see. However, I have a feeling that something controversial will happen.
