Oh, this is choice!

Patterico proposes the "Chuckie S. Drinking Game" (hey, I don't think I have that kind of stamina!) after he took a look at Schumer's opening statement yesterday. Patterico proposes taking a drink every time Sen. Chuck Schumer says "extreme," which is why I don't think I would be able to make it to the end of the game before passing out.

Now, I only account for four "extreme"s in this statement, but from the length of the excerpt, I wouldn't think that it would take much more than about 5 minutes to read aloud. Almost an "extreme-a-minute." Yup, I'd be pretty buzzed in no time! So, I think I'll pass on the game.

Nevertheless, I noticed one interesting little quote from Sen. Schumer:

In case after case after case, you give the impression of applying careful legal reasoning, but too many times you happen to reach most conservative result.

You give the impression of being a meticulous legal navigator, but, in the end, you always seem to chart a rightward course.

I don't suppose Sen. Schumer has thought of the possibility that "careful legal reasoning" would naturally "chart a rightward course"?

Naaah, that would presume that Sen. Schumer actually thinks...
