From Rush Limbaugh:
SHUMER: It's sad that the president felt he had to pick a nominee likely to divide America instead of choosing a nominee in the mold of Sandra Day O'Connor, who would unify us.
RUSH: Stop the tape a second. Senator, let me tell you what's going to happen. He is going to unify America, and you're going to be on the losing end of it. This is not going to divide America whatsoever, and you know it, and it's something you're deathly afraid of. You want to simply continue to define yourself and your far leftist fringe buddies as the mainstream, but you couldn't be more out of the mainstream if you had charted a course to be out of the mainstream. This is all posturing. It is Schumer who is genuinely sad that he wasn't able to roll the president, because what's happened here, folks, the president has chosen to pick a fight with his real enemies this time. He has chosen to pick a fight with the left. And he's really not even choosing to pick a fight. He's just choosing who he thinks would be an excellent nominee for the court. Here's the rest of Senator Schumer.
SHUMER: -- needs unity now. America needs reaching out to one another more than ever.
RUSH: Why?
SHUMER: But the president seems to want to hunker down in his bunker and is more concerned about smoothing the ruffled feathers of the extreme wing of his party than about governing all of America and changing history for the better.
RUSH: Extreme wing of his party? How about Ruth Buzzy Ginsburg? Extreme wing of his party. The president didn't want an O'Connor. It's you people on the left who live in this mirage that there is somehow some swing vote on the court to make sure you don't lose every time that wants an O'Connor. It's not the president. If there was supposed to be another O'Connor, Clinton should have nominated another O'Connor, if O'Connor is the baseline, is the benchmark, then let Clinton have nominated -- he didn't, he nominated an ACLU member, Ruth Buzzy Ginsburg. And here you have Schumer dumping all over Alito, but then says that he will scrutinize. He says he can't be a fair judge. He's been a federal judge for 15 years. He's been on the federal circuit for 15 years, 100 to nothing unanimous votes twice. You know, and Chuck's want even the ranking member of the judiciary committee. That would be Leaky Leahy, Patrick the Senator Depends. And he's had some things to say, too, but he's being outflanked here by Chuck Schumer. Like I'm saying, folks, we need to be happy that Schumer is saying what he is saying. We want people like Schumer out front every day just as we want this.
