Schumer in 2007: Don't confirm any Bush Supreme Court nominee

Sen. Chuck Schumer said in July 2007 that no George W. Bush nominee to the Supreme Court should be approved, except in extraordinary circumstances, 19 months before a new president was set to be inaugurated.

"We should not confirm any Bush nominee to the Supreme Court, except in extraordinary circumstances," Schumer, a New York Democrat, said in prepared remarks to the American Constitution Society, a liberal legal organization.

Schumer cited ideological reasons for the delay.

"They must prove by actions, not words, that they are in the mainstream rather than we have to prove that they are not," Schumer said at the time.

TV Ratings Saturday: Republican Presidential debate wins the night 11.63 million

http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2016/02/07/tv-ratings-saturday-feb-6-2016/


How on Earth can they get so many on a Saturday night when we can't get that many on a Thursday night the highest viewing TV day of the week. We got 3.3 million. This is so unfair. Even on a freaking Saturday night they get 11 million.


Something is seriously wrong.


I hate this.
