And possibly pretextual. He wants good PR for his book tour, not bad PR - and he's staring down the prospect of lots of protests at his events. So better to delay for a while until tempers cool, and it's much more palatable to cite "security concerns" than "most of the people who might show up to his events are really mad at Schumer right now."

Sure. Because he did an extremely unpopular thing. I don't recall if it was here, or in a news article I read, but I saw a poll that indicated that the Dem constituency overwhelmingly wants the Dems to fight. No appeasement. Just fight. They've had enough of appeasement with an intransigent Rep party, and compromise that isn't really compromise. I tend to agree. Log-jam them. If they aren't going to include the other side of the aisle, then use the lack of supermajority in the Senate to filibuster everything. At least until they invite Dems to the table to negotiate...you know, the way politics is supposed to work.
