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.

If you declare 0, it is very unlikely you will owe anything, and more than likely you will get money back, because you WILL declare 1 on your tax return at the end of the year.
For now I need the cash.
You know what? I come back to hear Leahy spouting the same thing, doesn't he get it?
President Bush at the UN ----- Did not know President Bush was going to speak.
Leahy? No! He's an idiot.
It's about to start back up
Sen Kyle is up first
Is there anyway besides the official record, to chart how many minutes total Roberts had to answer versus the questioners?
They're Back !!
Kyl is going to whip them.
he's already begun...go Kyl!
I hear you there. Here is what you can do. Get the state and federal income tax tables (getting both is important). Estimate your earnings between start of work and December 31. Check the tax tables to see what you will owe and if it exceeds your estimated withholding, put the amount of any deficiency aside aside, unless there is going to be a little pile of dough available on April 15th.
Ahmanejad isn't there too is he?
Kyl is giving Biden an egg facial!
Kyl must've been mad, he used the break to dig... or he's psychic.
Kyl saying Biden couldn't even plagurize, er restate transcripts accurately....saying Biden LIED.
Yeah, he is, someone OK'd him a visa.
Kyle is correcting Biden
Apparetly Ginsburg didn't say what Biden claims she said
Kyle is reading the transcript
Back in time to see Kyl ripping Biden's statements apart. Nice timing.
Haha, go Kyl.
