As a little bit of background for those not from New York state, Senator Schumer has a news conference almost every Sunday that gets picked up by the local news media where he rails against some injustice or another. These injustices are usually minor issues that are usually supported by anecdotal stories and manage to get Schumer in front of the a decent chunk of Sunday news viewers once a week. I'm sure some action gets taken from at least some of these news conferences but it certainly feels like grandstanding on an issue as I've never personally read/seen Schumer follow up on any of his Sunday issues. In the interest of disclosure, I've voted for the man twice.
