Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) speaks at a Center for American Progress and American Constitution Society hearing on the "Role of Judicial Philosophy in the Confirmation Process".
Schumer says because millions of U.S. citizens will be affected by a justice’s decision; therefore it is important to ask the nominee relevant questions. He also believes the influence of a single justice can outlast the work of a president. (:54)
