Featured Members of Congress
On July 23, 2008 Chuck Schumer was featured on the homepage of OpenCongress:
Senator and DSCC Chairman Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said on Wednesday that a filibuster-proof 60 Democratic seats in the Senate is possible for the next session of Congress. "I don't want people to think we're definitely going to get 60 votes, but that's very hard," Schumer told reporters. "It's about as likely at this point today as getting six sets was at this time two years ago, which means very unlikely, but who knows? Maybe it could happen again."
