(3,344 posts)This is both:
1) The correct thing to do
2) A sound political strategy
Not that I think Whitaker will yield, but it is best to apply pressure where we can.

(25 posts)He is my Senator and I would hate to lose the leadership position, but he is constantly getting played and things are getting too serious to keep letting this happen. There are plenty of other Senators that could take over leadership and do a better job.

In the Senate, however, bashing Schumer for the limits of our receded minority there (a DU sport) is just sophistry. Virtually all the power Democratic senators have is their ability to speak out, which Sen. Schumer did today, in a timely and direct manner.
