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.

I agree -- now the dumb ass is asking about Katrina!
Here goes the "don't you think Karl Rove owns a hurricane machine" questions. sarc/
The Dems are jumping on the "I'm more interested in baseball than Roberts is" bandwagon.
I'm getting misty hearing him speak of the constitution this way. snif.
Damn that Roberts for not being a first responder!
Apparently Kohl didn't get the democrat memo -- he is asking trite, but polite questions. I think Kohl is out of his realm.
I'll bet the Dems blame the 40 years of Dem leadership in Lousiana for failing to help the underprivelged succeed.
did this cown REALLY just say that???
??!!??
Vino veritas?
Note to self: When stunned, go to Katrina again.
His wife is about to nod off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kohl says, in spite of our laws and our rules, we see what happened in NO. (They could not stop the hurricane, Senator, that is true.) Mind numbing dumbness.
This is the guy who gave Latrell Spreewell a contract extention..
LOL
We should start a moonbat thesaurus.
Oh-Oh -- Roe v Wade.
YES, reasonable people can disagree.
Been gone for a bit- just catching up here- who is this idiot? It's as though he's trying to make Roberts say America's laws are bad because we had a hurricane here.
This fellow is pitiful.
<< I'm getting misty hearing him speak of the constitution this way. snif.>>
You should be...
It's been far too long since we've had someone who respects it in Government....
This will go A LONG way to ending Judicial Activism...
On Both Sides...
PS-- The Abortions questions just started...
I agree!
If Kohl realizes he is out of his realm when dealing with Roberts, then he is the only sane Dem on the committee.
Let me guess, more specifics.
