The Dem playbook
The Hill newspaper gives us a peek at the Democratic playbook for the Roberts hearings. Below are the attack assignments for the Democratic members of the Committee:
Kennedy -- civil rights
Leahy -- Bybee torture memo
Biden -- privacy, personal autonomyand the 9th Amendment
Kohl -- Property rights and civil liberties
Feinstein -- "judicial activism" and Roe vs. Wade
Feingold -- limits of executive powers
Schumer and Durbin have wisely refused to show their hand.

Senate Judiciary Committee webcast.
Idiot is running out of time because he won't STHU and let the Judge answer a question. grrrrr. Gonna email Biden later and let him know what I think of him and his arrogance and rudeness.
Take a number.
Why is Biden yelling?
Yes he is, but I am livid regardless.
This is the first my huisband has seen of Biden in any length, and he's disgusted beyond words....lol. Talk about an egotistical blowhard. Gawd, he's a DISGRACE.
Bring on Schumer!
He just called Roberts "man." He has been very disrespectful to Judge Roberts, and his voice is so dmn whiny!
How in the world has someone not beaten the living crap out of this man up until now?
ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!
Biden needs to brush up on his vocabulary!
He just say that a reply Roberts gave to Kennedy was "accurate but not fulsome." Presumably by 'fulsome' he meant . . . full. In fact fulsome has a very different meaning.
fulsome \FUL-sum\, adjective:
Offending or disgusting by overfullness, excess, or grossness; cloying; insincere or excessively lavish; esp., offensive from excess of praise.
Maybe Joe should start plagiarizing the Funk & Wagnall's.
Won't let him finish his answers because they're misleading?????
Biden doesn't even want answers, all about him.
Roberts: "My answers are not misleading."
Biden says 'but his answers are misleading'
Specter: 'they may be misleading but they are his answers'
Arlen just got off a good one against Bidet, oops, Biden, hah.
Leni
Slapdowns #5 and #6 for the plagarist!
Arlen slaps Biden again
Biden says his answers are misleading
Arlen says regardless .. they are his answers and let him answer the queston
I think it's time for Biden to buy a vowel!
I am watching his wife. She is ready to join you, as am I.
What are you talking about?
Because he lost the argument.
