Nomination of John G. Roberts [LIVE Thread 9-13]~Day Two
Senate Judiciary ^ | 9-13-05 | Senate Judiciary Committee

Posted on 09/13/2005 5:01:31 AM PDT by OXENinFLA

Q&A with Roberts to Start
On Tuesday, the eighteen members of the Senate Judiciary Cmte. begin questioning Chief Justice nominee John Roberts. This will take all day, with the senators asking their questions, up to a half-hour for each member, in order of seniority, alternating by party.

The Schedule (media advisory)


Tentative Schedule for the Hearing: Schedule is subject to change

Tuesday, Sept. 13

9:30 am Chairman Specter begins 30 minute round of questioning (Round 1)

1:00 pm Break for lunch

2:00 pm Resume questioning

6:00 pm Break for dinner

7:00 pm Resume questioning

8:30 pm Round 1 questioning ends


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.

Biden is a preening egomaniac, self-satisfied with the little show he's putting on for his liberal claque.

Did you notice Kennedy is not at his seat? There's a report that a capitol custodian was heading to the men's room with a mop and a plunger.

Roberts said his answers are NOT misleading.

Biden is overmatched here. He's a dunce, and butt rude too.

And when Roberts becomes Chief Justice he can continue to kick their butts. But, they won't be able to ask him any more questions. Ha.

Thank you. I appreciate your honesty.

PresBush said Scalia and Thomas are his idea of what a USSC justice should be. I agree. I don't think Roberts rises to the level of a Scalia, Thomas or even a CJ Rehnquist.

Had to take a break from work to say that Biden is a pompous ass. These jackasses don't want to hear an answer, they just want to hear themselves talk.
Judge Robert's just put Biden in his place with a very polite "chuck you farley".

Biden thinks he knows more than Roberts...what a joke!

Biden talking extra quickly, interferring with Roberts's explanations.

Would you buy a used car from this man?
How about buying a plagiarized paper?

Specter: Let him answer
Biden: he's misleading
Specter: they may be misleading but they are his answers

Roberts: with respect, my answers are not misleading, they are accurate.
