I don't know how to read this one. This has "protect red state senators" written all over it, which is something that Obama would have understood. As someone pointed out, Schumer isn't doing much to stop this. I suspect she would have been vastly better at the optics. Maybe bringing on board Warren to put some "cookie" in the thing to which everyone could have pointed.

I do wonder if Schumer sees this as a potential campaign issue for other senators that is worth the risk it creates.
