Yep, old Chuck U. Schumer is trying once more to use some kind of parliamentary method to violate the Constitution. I really wonder what he would say if one of the members of the House would try to play the same game in the Senate. Of course, he thinks it is fine for Demoncraps to pull this trick in the House but I bet he wouldn't like that.

Upchuck Schumer wants to do something unConstitutional. We're supposed to be surprised?

The democrats better get things while they can as their time is getting short.

I am not surprised at all about Chuck U.

Here is a brief article explaining how a discharge petition works, how the nutjob who writes for the site you linked to thinks this is unconstitutional is beyond me.

A discharge petition is a means of bringing a bill out of committee and to the floor for consideration without a report from the committee and usually without cooperation of the leadership by "discharging" the committee from further consideration of a bill or resolution. Discharge petitions are most often associated with the U.S. House of Representatives, though many state legislatures have similar procedures. They are used when the chair of a committee refuses to place a bill or resolution on the Committee's agenda; by never reporting a bill, the matter will never leave the committee, and the full House will not be able to consider it. The discharge petition, and the threat of one, gives more power to individual members of the House and usurps a small amount of power from the leadership and committee chairs. The modern discharge petition requires the signature of an absolute majority of House members (218 members). Only twice has it been used successfully on major legislation in recent history.[1]

You might want to add John Boehner and Mitch McConnell to that K St. list. I'm waiting for Boehner's announcement. After the next e******n, he will no longer be Speaker. Either the Democrats or Republicans will replace him. Either way, he may finally come out of the closet and admit that he is nothing more than a bi-partisan, DC Establishment toady/sycophant.

Mr Bill

Schumer is an ass anyway. What is amazing is how hard the libs are pushing this dumb-ass of amnesty. It's like they can't wait to put a rope around their necks. Trouble is, when they do, it takes every other American citizen with them. We have immigration-laws that will work, but you have to REALLY ENFORCE them to work! We haven't got a broken immigration-system, we have too many morons in public-office!

Kevyn

Although off the topic, you do realize that far more undocumented immigrants have been deported by the Obama justice department than under W or any preceding presidents who really did not enforce the law.

Loki Loc: Georgia

Then why is their population increasing? Maybe this Administration's refusal to secure the border? Not that Bush was any better at it.

bobgssc

I believe the person means that by ignoring one third of the three branches of government defined by the constitution constitutes "unconstitutional".

Mr Bill

Mr Bill

How am I off the topic? It's about Schumer and illegal-immigration! As far as B.O. deporting i******s, do you know they keep counting the ones that return again and again also? For every one that gets deported, 2 or 3 sneak in. Those ARE facts! Look it up!
