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.

What's she saying?
Wow, this Feinstein's disgusting. Roberts seems to be struggling not to let her get him upset with her nonesense.
I SEE HER. phone ... can't hear right now --- keep me posted, PLEASE.
More lame questioning over a too lawyers joke
Feinstein: "I don't want to belabor it... blah blah"...
Oh yes you do, hag.
Someone remind me why Roberts has to deal with mental lightweights incapable of understanding a joke?
His own wife is a lawyer, Di.
Another Senator making a fool of herself.
Did Little Diane object to being called a lady? I'm at a disadvantage here since I'm not in a place where I can watch or hear the hearings.
I think this is just a building block for her abortion attack.
DIFI is pissed, she was carping about Roberts writtings about the ERA. and is asking his stance about equal rights etc.. man and I sorry she is a calif senator
It's almost like somebody sat down and tried to find ANYTHING they could twist into one of their little agenda driven diatribes, isn't it?
But I'm sure they didn't do that.
It's a MOTHER******* JOKE, feinswine.
She just tried to nail Roberts for making a joke about too many lawyers.
She deserves a huge, long, boring, legalistic answer; "I don't want to belabor it," she says, and moves on for another hit.
I'm so glad I'm not Roberts. I would NOT be polite to this disgusting woman.
Okay, you can't tell jokes or be lighthearted about anything and escape the approbrium of the Politically Correct. That leaves most of us here out.
Did I miss Sessions? Feinstien is a moron, but that is to easy. The guy has three sisters, I have a borther who has two older sisters, if he wanted to be a sexist he knows he would be toast. :)
DiFi is po'ed over lawyer jokes?
Frakenfeinstein is sure confrontational isn't she?
Feinstein is proof positive that liberals have NO sense of humor.
The dumbest rock on the planet can get a lawyer joke. But not a liberal?
