I'm in the middle of working on another post, and The Rachel Maddow Show is on in the background. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who is not-so-affectionately nicknamed by conservative radio host Mark Levin as "Chucky Schmucky", is making an appearance. He was just discussing how he hopes that more of the "mainline conservative" Republican Senators will be willing to break party ranks from the "hard right" and vote their conscience.
My initial reaction was to check how frequently Schumer is willing to break from party ranks. I jumped over to OpenCongress.org which features a few voting statistics for each member of Congress including the percentage of time one votes with their party. Schumer votes with his party 100% of the time - the only member of the Senate to do so.
