Aw: Coburn, Schumer to sit together at SOTU

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday that after Udall’s call, he called Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) and asked if he wanted to sit together during the speech.

Coburn said yes.

“Tom and I have real differences but we do it civilly,” Schumer said.

Coburn cautioned, though, against linking the calls for polite political discourse to the motive of the likely mentally ill shooter in Arizona.
