She says Bush lets people starve if they don't vote for him.

Kinda an old play on republicans letting old lady's freeze to death and starve eating cat food. I'm realived that only people that don't vote for him freeze and eat catffood.

I like this Kyl guy. Can he be a Presidential candidate in 08?

Unfortunately, I neither have my chess clock with me, nor am I listening to the hearings. Maybe someone else has a chess clock to time each side with - especially during the Dems' "questioning".

"Roberts concerned that justices are relying on foreign precedents/law."

Would that include "Scottish law"?!

Methinks Kennedy won't be sending Roberts any cute email pictures of himself doing foreign court internet research.

Roberts said that the problem with using foreign law is that you can look at cases from anywhere to get the result that you favor.(paraphrasing, in a nutshell).
