Well rather than going thru the Constitution read the following of what the results of Schumerism is: Should Schumerism become orthodoxy among judges, the consequences for our constitutional democracy will be grim. As Justice Thomas notes, if law is just politics “then there are no courts at all, only legislatures, and no Constitution or law at all, only opinion polls.” And if an independent judiciary becomes just a myth masking the exercise of raw political power, George Mason law prof Nelson Lund tersely argues, “we should really start asking why these politicians-in-robes should enjoy life tenure—and why they should get the last word on so many important policy issues.” Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, blunter still, says: “It is simply not compatible with democratic theory that laws mean whatever they ought to mean, and that unelected judges decide what that is.” These people like Schumer are at WAR with America and the Constitution. Schumer thinks the CONSTITUTION IS A RIGHT WING EXTREMIST DOCUMENT! Consider that, its a scary thought and tells you what his real politics are. He took an oath to support and defend the Constitution.
