Note that Chuck Schumer, who National Journal says* was the most liberal senator in 2013 (well, it was a three-way tie) also has signed letters with Manchin to DOJ complaining that Bitcoin is "untraceable" and demanding a crackdown on Silk Road.

Can the most liberal senator be flamed as one? Or is that label never to be used in polite discourse? :)

"Most liberal" is hard to define. I prefer DW-Nominate score which ranks Schumer as the 20th most liberal and Manchin as the 53rd.
