Come January, Democratic Senator Charles Schumer of New York will become the chairman of the Subcommittee on Administrative Oversight and the Courts. He says he will reject any conservative President Bush nominates. His committee must approve every nominee. With more than 50 federal judicial vacancies, President Bush has been nominating men and women who believe it is their judicial job to interpret the constitution, not legislate from the bench. According to Schumer, “There will be no more right wing judges.” Superior Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito are considered “right wing” by the Senator because they are judicial activists. |
