Methinks Schumer talks too much

Shumer announced yesterday that the Dems will refuse to okay any more Supreme Court nominees until Bush is out of office.

New York Sen. Charles E. Schumer, a powerful member of the Democratic leadership, said Friday the Senate should not confirm another U.S. Supreme Court nominee under President Bush “except in extraordinary circumstances.”

Now, I happen to agree with that. The Court is already badly unbalanced. But, I don't think it's a very good idea to announce that in advance. It makes the Dems look unreasonable. Far better to wait and shoot down each nominee on the merits as they come. But, Schumer loves to get on TV.
