Senator Chuck Schumer Hypocritical on Scalia Replacement

  • Politics

This weekend Senator Chuck Schumer  stated on ABC’s “This Week” that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was being “obstructionist” when he vowed to block any Supreme Court nominee by President Obama to replace the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.

Further, Schumer stated that “When you go right off the bat and and say ‘I don’t care who he nominates, I am going to oppose him,’ that is not going to fly.”

Look no further than the like below to see Schumer’s stance on a potential Supreme Court nomination  by President Bush in 2007, 19 months before his term expired.

Apparently, the Constitution has changed since then.
