"He is not my ideal choice." Schumer is not my ideal choice either, not my choice at all for that matter. He reminds me of Rumfeld's statement, "You go to war with the army you have, not the army you want." His, Schumer's, presence in the Senate falls exactly into that catagory.

Americans seldom give head to the various levels of appointees and "career employees". I heard a, somewhat hysterical, gentleman on the radio who laid out some frightening theories re; the "hereditary" positions in the beltway which are filled by people we never hear of. Apparently many of these positions have been filled by members of a few families for generations. Reportedly there are direct descendants of the "Founding Fathers" whose families have been in continuous possession of these positions. Even when one allows for the "hysteria factor" this should be a matter of grave concern. One wonders; does the real power lie with the <em>elected</em> government or the <em>unelected</em>?
