Senate Judiciary Committee member Chuck Schumer got busy plotting away on the cellphone aboard a Washington, DC-New York Amtrak -- plotting Democrat strategy for the upcoming Supreme Court battle.
Schumer promised a fight over whoever the President�s nominee was: �It's not about an individual judge� It's about how it affects the overall makeup of the court.�
The chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee was overheard on a long cellphone conversation with an unknown political ally, and the DRUDGE REPORT was there!
Schumer proudly declared: �We are contemplating how we are going to go to war over this.�
Schumer went on to say how hard it was to predict how a Supreme Court justice would turn out: �Even William Rehnquist is more moderate than they expected. The only ones that resulted how they predicted were [Antonin] Scalia and [Ruth Bader] Ginsburg. So most of the time they've gotten their picks wrong, and that's what we want to do to them again.�
Schumer later went on to mock the �Gang of 14� judicial filibuster deal and said it wasn�t relevant in the Supreme Court debate.
�A Priscilla Owen or Janice Rogers Brown style appointment may not have been extraordinary to the appellate court but may be extraordinary to the Supreme Court.�
By the time the train hit New Jersey, Schumer shifted gears and called his friend and �Gang of 14� member, Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham.
The two talked in a very friendly manner about doing an event sometime this week together.
