Why the hysterical laughter? First a little background comparison. Here is Sen. Cruz’s statement about Eric Holder’s resignation:
Sen Cruz on Holder: "Sadly, he has proven to be the most partisan (AG) in our history, repeatedly defying and refusing to enforce the law"

Ding, ding, ding! Don’t tell “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd, though (don’t miss his idiotic lie about Holder).
OK, now here comes Sen. Schumer:
AG Holder was like ‘Horatius at the Bridge’ preventing or slowing down the regressive march to take away people’s hard-earned rights.

Stop it!
@SenSchumer that's not true at all

@SenSchumer you never were going to get my vote, but now I think you should be removed from office due to you being completely delusional

Amen.
