"We Are Going To Go To War Over This"

Senate Judiciary Committee member Charles Schumer (D-NY) was overheard on his cell phone aboard an Amtrak train making the following comments about the upcoming Supreme Court nomination 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."...

Schumer proudly declared: "We are contemplating how we are going to go to war over this."...

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."...

Such reasonable people, aren't they?
