Bayh will be mean and sleazy to appeal to the left

Bayh will know that his home constituents are paying attention and teeter on the fence. (Move-On has actually been running anti Bayh ads in the state. Can't imagine he's too happy about that.)

First, will be a series of opening statements by the eighteen members of the Senate Judiciary Cmte.

Ha! Splendid! More "blah-blah-blah" to contribute too nonexisent "global warming". Guess that'll mean this thread will keep fairly mellow and low-traffic until Roberts gets on the stand tomorrow.

I don't have access to C-span 3 here.. I know they will rerun it tonight..but anyone know what nets, including C-span 1 0r 2 have announced plans to cover.?

[Mister Baredog]

See you at 11:30; let the games begin.

Locked and Loaded, bring it on!

I have a feeling Judge Roberts will be "dining" on a few Senators this week.LMAO.

[Txsleuth]

Fox has been advertising all day that they will be covering the hearing...

[hoosiermama]

You'll find in on your computer at www.cspan.org

[Mister Baredog]

I understasnd that. I'm looking at it through Dem eyes.

Their vision is very blurry these days. Try Visine, LOL.

[Reagan Man]

The opening statements of the Roberts inquisition will start today. Few opposition Senators will take the advice of Ted Olson. Although they should. Especially Shuckie Chumer.

[Mister Baredog]

the money here says no way..

I think you have that right, just imagine if he makes a decision the libs don't like and she had voted for him?

Of course the Judiciary was never intended to be political but the RATS have destroyed that concept(with the help of the court of course).

I heard that b4 TV(up until the early 1950's) there were no confirmation hearings at all.

Judicial nominees would not participate, they were just voted on, up or down period.

[ChadGore]

Does Fox have streaming video I can watch live?

If so, does anyone have a direct link ?

[ChadGore]

Watching Cspan 1 now. Showing Roberts greats hits.

[brivette]

Regarding your tag line: I'll go in for half.

[Mister Baredog]

I wish I could stick around for the fun.

Not to worry, the real fun will not come today. Today is for bloviating Senators, 18 opening statements, UGH.

[popdonnelly]

"Fox News this morning said that Teddy will bring in the hurricane stuff...you know, poor blacks were neglected and therefore John Roberts will overturn civil rights laws, blah, blah, blah...."

That's why mute buttons were invented.

Dr. Richard Baker being interviewed now.

This is a historic moment for the Conservative movement.

Thank you George W. Bush.
