Nomination of John G. Roberts [LIVE Thread 9-13]~Day Two
Senate Judiciary ^ | 9-13-05 | Senate Judiciary Committee

Posted on 09/13/2005 5:01:31 AM PDT by OXENinFLA

Q&A with Roberts to Start
On Tuesday, the eighteen members of the Senate Judiciary Cmte. begin questioning Chief Justice nominee John Roberts. This will take all day, with the senators asking their questions, up to a half-hour for each member, in order of seniority, alternating by party.

The Schedule (media advisory)


Tentative Schedule for the Hearing: Schedule is subject to change

Tuesday, Sept. 13

9:30 am Chairman Specter begins 30 minute round of questioning (Round 1)

1:00 pm Break for lunch

2:00 pm Resume questioning

6:00 pm Break for dinner

7:00 pm Resume questioning

8:30 pm Round 1 questioning ends


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.

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.

The gasbag senators can ask all the lengthy questions they want. However, they are obviously oblivious to the fact that Judge Roberts has taken over control of this hearing.

Control, period, exclamation point.!

I feel sorry for that deaf one legged indian woman that Bush nominates next

Hey, at least she wouldn't have to listen to these buffoons. A signer would be more entertaining.

That would be consistent with dems...the idiot Senator from Colorado, also campaigned by saying he wouldn't filibuster judicial nominees...and yet the first one to come up...he was right there with the other dems, ready to filibuster!

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.

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!!

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.

"Is DeWine saying anything notable"

A complete waste. Giving his opinion and hardly asking questions.

Roberts shedding him off like a flea.

"You mean you're following DeWine's questions? I can't."

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!
