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.

Mine, too. :-)
I have to tell you, that Katrina talk caught me off guard...lol.
Gawd, he's so old he stinks. I think he is in his 70's. What kills me is: he has a life time membership in the Sentate. There is just no getting rid of that vile creature.
Here we go again, Dems thinking that when he represented the administration it was his personal feelings as well.
LOL, I thought the same thing. Kohl might as well have said, As Chief Justice will you protect our coasts from hurricanes?
House just adjourned until about 6:00. C-SPAN1 now covering.
Yep, I agree. Roberts is decidedly the smartest man in the room.
Excellent.
Why can't they tell the difference between something by law and how a person may feel about it?
Is Kohl as slow as he appears?
"Damn That Cheney and His Hurricane-O-Tron. Can't the Constitution Stop that!!"
On C-SPAN1 again.
You just jumped right back in & made me LMAO!
On C-SPAN1 again.
Yes siree Bob.
Thanks for the Cafferty email. I sent the following question:
Please ask Judge Roberts his opinion on sentencing terms for hit and run drivers.
Careful, someday you shall be there also.God willing
I think the concensus is yes.
They probably have poetry on DU (never been there), but I suspect it's mostly obscene.
LOL- exactly.
We all naturally get sleepy around this time of the day. Too bad she is so loyal that she won't get up and leave, walk around, get a cup of coffee, like the Dems on the committee have.
I'll bet she's heard her husband say most of these things before.
