"...the current situation of the Senate and the hyper-partisan nature of the judicial confirmation process can all be brought back to the corruption of our institutions by progressive thinking — something “tyrants” like Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., simply don’t care about."

To me, the saddest part is that our senators are of the opinion that "do as I say, not as I do" is how things should be.  Because, of course, they forget that most of the nation and most of the states all are now controlled by red.  Except their (progressives, Dems, leftists) red is not the Republican red.  The august senator Schatz is only concerned w/ power.  Period.  His definition of compromise is again, "do as I say".  If I remember correctly, the last time the Dems did this was w/ Bork.  Obstructionists = Dem.
