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.

Gee .. sure sounds like Biden was the one that was "misleading" ... LOL!!
Kyl just smacked down that smug prick Biden.
And he's proving it. What a b*tch slapping Biden just got.
Biden misleading? I'm shocked!!!!!!!!!!
I sincerely hope you are right.
Biden lied!!!!! OMG, what a shock. Won't this hurt his run for the dem nomination for president????
Where's my ammo?
President Bush will address the nation Thursday evening from Louisiana, where he will be monitoring the Hurricane Katrina recovery efforts, the White House announced Tuesday.
Not sure but this is up on Drudge, the U.N.will be after that I'm guessing.
Just got here....what kind of job did you get?
BTW, I am happy for you, congratulations!!
What would Neil Kinnock say?
Here come KELO.
Biden Lied… Hairplugs Died.
Here we go........
Doesn't surprise me!
Biden is a sneaky rat!
No, when Dean finds out he's a cogenital liar he'll immediately endorse him, unless Hillary shows that she is really the bigger liar.
I bet the clerks were running and digging up all the cases Spector mentioned after the break (sure they had them already), you better believe they were hoofing.
Kyl will lay things straight.
When is Kyl getting to his question?
I am proud of Kyle for many reasons, not the least of which is that he seems to be able to speak English clearly and does not make up new words.
Minefield alert.
The Takings case.
How's that guy doing re: Souter's NH house?
