[TexasNative2000]

I just LOVE our poker-playing President. . . . . .

[Mo1]

grrr .. I hit the wrong one on spell check

should be

Durbin statement is out ... says that Roberts is controversial and not a sure thing

[Howlin]

Then you aren't paying attention -- or are playing dumb.

[Timeout]

The best of both worlds!

With their obstructionism and trying to drag out the process Rats will:

1) Be on display to the American people as a bunch of whiny losers.

and

2) Give Judge Roberts an excellent forum to educate the American people on sound, common sense, conservative legal principles.

[gopwinsin04]

Chuckie wants Roberts personal papers, fat chance!

[mhking]

MHKING we should get that guy from Banazi tv show to announced how long before Demos have meltdown

[ex-Texan]

Michael Savage just said on his radio show something like this:

"Bush is playing rope-a-dope with Liberals. This nomination is intended to take the spot light off Karl Rove."

Savage was yucking it up when the local station switched to the Bush news conference. He was saying this was a very smart tactic by GWB.

[SevenofNine]

That what you call Texas hold em LOL!

[mware]

Every time a liberal whines an angel gets its wings.

Lots of angels getting their wings tonight.

[Sea2ShiningSea]

YES! Most definitely! Cheers!

[Shqipo]

Chuck seemed visibly shaken and more dour than usual. Good job GWB. Let the battle commence.

[proud American in Canada]

Since when do the Democrats get a rebuttal to the president's nomination

I was wondering the very same thing. This isn't the State of the Union address, or a Presidential debate.

[PhilipFreneau]

>> You are wrong.

Prove it. Prove to us that Roberts is a conservative.

[paulat]

WE NEED FIVE. Say it with me. WE NEED FIVE. Russert named Biden, Kohl as others who have previously voted in favor

Russert also named Feinstein.

[kcar]

You are forgiven, butterfly, as this person verily hates everything that you love, so this passion is but matched, yet opposite. Moreover, you are right.

[RobFromGa]

I predict delaying tactics, beginning in committee, and possibly even a real filibuster on the floor.

It will get through Cmte. in a reasonable amount of time. The filibuster will be nuked if it occurs, the bipartisan support lawyer letter and the voice vote confirmation two years ago will make the "extreme" case impossible to pin on Judge Roberts. THe Democrats will split into Suicidal and not-yet-Suicidal.

[AFPhys]

Shoomie doesn't matter - he's just chaffing from being the junior senior senator from NY. There will be no effective filibuster.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

If Senator Kennedy ever has you on the hot seat just look him square in the eye and say "I'm the one in the middle you drunk."

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Chuckie Schumer says Roberts may not be a 'consensus' nominee. (whatever the heck that is)

54-46 is a consesus!

[NeoCaveman]

That's a macro; Schumder says that about every single nominee!

Here's how it will go

Schumer "What do you think about Roe?"
Answer "I'd love to answer that, but it might come before more, therefor I can not answer that according to the cannons of legal ethics

Schumer "Death penalty, any opinion?"
Answer "I'd love to answer that, but it might come before more, therefor I can not answer that according to the cannons of legal ethics

Schumer "Endgangered species act?"
Answer "I'd love to answer that, but it might come before more, therefor I can not answer that according to the cannons of legal ethics

Schumer "What is your favorite color?"
Answer "Red"
