Drudge Report: Schumer Caught on Phone Going to War Over Court

According to the Drudge Report, Senator Chucky Schumer (D-NY) was overheard on a cell phone conversation stating “We are contemplating how we are going to go to war over this.”

He also talked about how many of the Republican appointments to the court have turned out to be libs, stating "most of the time they've gotten their picks wrong, and that's what we want to do to them again."

He also made light of the "Gang of 14" Senate sellout on the filibuster deal as irrelevant.

Is anybody surprised by any of this?

Dems Finally Admit Judges Make Law

"[The Supreme Court] is a totally different ball game. ... A circuit court judge is bound by stare decisis. They don't get to make new law. They have to abide by [legal precedent]."

-Senator Joseph Biden on July 3, 2005 Face the Nation, when asked whether that would break the Senate's much-heralded compromise last month not to filibuster judicial appointments except under "extraordinary circumstances."

Oh, only Supreme Court judges get to make law. I get it now. (Which is why the Dems are fighting so hard for the judiciary...and why conservatives need to wake up and fight like they want to win)!
