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.

He's putting me to sleep. He is far more interested in hearing himself talk that in anything Roberts might have to say.
Control, period, exclamation point.!

Hey, at least she wouldn't have to listen to these buffoons. A signer would be more entertaining.
Yes, I was sick when my state elected that jerk, and his brother as one of our congresscritters. Colorado is split nearly 50/50 on conservative vs. liberal--most of state elections are nail-biters.
####Is she any relation to Lucy Babaloo Blanco?####
Landrieu & Blanco are tweedledum & tweedledumber!
I don't know, but the coach should change the lineup. DeWine almost makes me want to see Schumer (DID I SAY THAT). I have to shower.
As a former Democrat, I'm ashamed to say that most Democrats have no shame.
Ref Robets eyeball pix
At least he looks them straight in the eye, responds intelligently and honestly, and uses no notes -- hard to beat someone who faces you eye to eye and doesn't flinch under fire!!!
HOOAH!! Go Roberts!!
Thank You, but the elites look down upon us little people. It's not like the Supreme Court LOL.
Eeeww! Did you have to post that pic?
Is DeWine saying anything notable, or just wasting time?
He's putting me to sleep. He is far more interested in hearing himself talk that in anything Roberts might have to say.
They all want to hear themselves, none, except the repubs, ask and then let Roberts answer the questions.
Typcial libs.. todays actions show who they are!!!!! as if we didn't already know.
A complete waste. Giving his opinion and hardly asking questions.
Roberts shedding him off like a flea.
Guess you forgot. You're still persona non grata in my book.
His master's voice.
Sort of, he's attempting to clear some minor areas before them democrats get into them. Will make democrat questions seem unoriginal.
Great attitude...I loved the restaurant business as well..
It was LONG hours, mostly 7:00 am to 12:00midnight...and that was for a restaurant the closed at 9:00 pm...
I know pizza places are open later...
I think the reason I like the job is that I get bored easily, and a rest. manager does so many different things..and the daily ups and downs...won't ever become routine or boring!!!
Please keep me up on your journey as a manager...I really am proud of you and interested!
LOL. IMHO if she's also blind she's got it made as she can't listen nor see the bloviators performing for the cameras.
Prayers they're fine and just trying to get things in some sort of order.
Thnak you. You have my admiration!
