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.

Tell me again... Specter is a Republican?
Can you even imagine having to sit there all day and answer questions from people who are clearly your intellectual inferiors? My daily allowance of patience would have been shot by 9:43 am.
F'n Spectre won't shut the h*ll up about Roe! What the h*ll is with this monster????
They want him to sell his soul.
Perhaps they should require him to perform an abortion in the hearing room. If he refuses, off with his head!
Specter is inching to his LOONEY SUPERPRECIDENT theory.
specter is a legal buffoon.
The real question is who are specter's staffers. He must have NARAL staffers on his staff.
A good question!
Big difference between Miranda warnings and killing babies.
Is somebody taking a count of just how many questions Roberts is being asked regarding Roe V. Wade? Is there NOT anything else besides killing the unborn that is important to these people?
THIS is the one I'm waiting for.....
It's would be GREAT to see how DEMS handle an attack on her, while trying to say "We're Not Racist"....
BUT....
I believe the next nominee will be Garcia from Texas...
Spectre is a Republican as Kennedy is a Catholic.
Bush will not nominate Janice Rogers Brown to the Supreme Court. Edith Jones is the leading female candidate, a judge Bush knew in Texas and now sits on the 5th Court of Appeals in New Orleans (but is now in Houston).
Brown just got her Appeals' Court position six months ago. And she's way too hot politically in the current environment.
And if Roberts doesn't buy into double-super-duper precedent, he'll be placed on double-secret probation and double-super-duper-fibuster.
Welcome to the necrocrat party, wait till you see the Cadaver News Network tonight. Now they're raking Rehnquist to get to him (who's obviously has just died).
sw
LOL!!
It would seem that's the ONLY thing that would Keep DEMS happy....
And they get offended when people call them a Death Cult..
I'm not surprised. A liar is a liar. A ghoul is a ghoul. And a tiger is a tiger.
2 mins and counting. Who's up next?
Specter is a disgrace. The only thing he's interested in is maintaining abortion. Why the Frist didn't dump him in the beginning of the term will haunt us.
