"These experts know that a smart criminal will have rehearsed a cover story for, say, what he was doing in London and why he's going to New York."
LOL. Roberts equated to a criminal. No bias there, nope.

Wow NYT comparing Robert's to a "smart criminal".
I guess that is expected behavior from this leftist pamphlet
To: neverdem
He's apt to exhibit telltale signs of a liar under stress Don't forget, he is a liar too.
To: neverdem
The birds in the neighborhood won't even accept the NY Times in their cages, much to the annoyance of the lone liberal who tries virtually every day to pawn her newspaper on one of us neighbors.

A pretty funny article, actually. I'm thinking Tierney isn't taking Roberts' interrogators entirely seriously.
How would you edit this sentence to make it grammatically correct?: "I swear I ain't never gonna overturn Roe v. Wade."
Don't answer it, John...it's a trap...

Finally, some FReepers with a sense of humor!

Prepare for lots of photographs of senators being outfoxed and outclassed. Don't look for those photographs on the leftstream news media though.

Hey, folks! Tierney's poking fun at the Senators. The only chance they have is to ask silly questions that make no sense. (There will likely be some of those in any case.)
This writer is a reliable conservative, probably the only one who writes regularly for the NYTimes.

Rather than pick some unknown who's going to play games to remain unknown (until he's got the job for LIFE) I rather we had someone who makes up every morning with the thought of how he's going to stick it to the RATS today and even brags about it!

A lawyer who has been cross-examined dozens of times by the Supreme Court will not be caught off guard by senators posing as legal scholarsKennedy and Schumer to a T.

a few graceful generalitiesI read Roberts' statement and, while short, was hardly about "graceful generalities", but struck an important keynote concerning his judicial philosophy, i.e., judges should be humble referees and follow the law, not make it. That is an important if not central point, not a tea party bromide.
To: RWR8189
Don't forget Biden. Schumer is at least intelligent. He probably could have made it as a criminal lawyer.

I like the self serving nonsense from guys like Chuckie Schumer directed to Judge Roberts, and I paraphrase, 'It is my obligation to ask these questions. It is your obligation to answer them.'
Except, of course, it isn't.
Sure, the liberal Democratic Parody Senators can ASK anything they want. But it is not only NOT an obligation of Judge Roberts to answer some of them, it is instead his obligation NOT to.
Wouldn't it be kind of entertaining to hear the Judge actually TELL the gaseous ones exactly that?

I'm glad they are televising the Inquisition of John Roberts. Americans will get another dose of DemocRAT hatred toward good people.

Rehnquist added gold stripes to his robe. If confirmed, will you keep the stripesI vote dump the stripes. This isn't a banana republic.
