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.

does he speak today?
stupid questions, how have you changed/grown. I hope he says I used to be tricked by some liberal fee good ideas and now that I have more knowledge I have become a staunch conservative.
:)
Why? has he declared it a disaster area to be forever evacuated?
Sean is playing the clip when Kennedy wouldn't let him talk and Specter had to tell him three times.
Now we will see what's up with DeWine.
If brains were gasoline the Democrats on the Judiciary Committee couldn't propel a flea's motorcycle around a raindrop.
And, like Zorro, he'll only have to fight them one-at-a-time.
I believe I read (or heard) he will speak on Thursday.
Does DeWine normally sound like he has a mouthful of marbles?
Why is it when I hear Schumer I think of hillary?
Well .... for a Dem, Kohl's questions were pretty fair and good
I regret drinking Old Milwakee beer in college when I was short on funds. I should have taken a part time job so I could buy the good stuff.
DeWine ... one of two disgraces we in Ohio have foisted on the Republican Party and the Senate.
Gee thank you --- now I have that song playing in my head ...lol... "out of the night, when the full moon is bright..."
LOL -- Dunno.
LOL, you're on fire today.
He normally sounds like an 8 year old.
