Sen. Schumer said on Friday that the Senate should not confirm another United State Supreme Court Nominee under President Bush. The senator is alarmed at the how the court seems to be leaning towards changing some of the precedents established by previous courts.
The idea that a United States Senator would suggest that the Senate should not confirm another nominee as long President Bush is in office is just simply shocking. The Constitution gives the Senate the power to advice and consent not to choose to accept or delay until a new President takes office. A new opening on the court does not appear likely but, if one did become open the Senate does not have the power to just not consider nominees because a President has had too many in their opinion.
