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.

Yes I would. Lord, if someone is being put up for the Supreme Court they should be smart and articulate and courageous enough to defend their beliefs.

If Roberts was that good, he would take on this stinking Fienstink and defend the Pro-Life Cause. This way it looks to all the pro-choicers that Roberts is afraid and/or not capable of debating and defending Pro-Life.

I just hope Chuckie doesn't disappoint us and wimp out ... he needs to attack Roberts with all guns blazing!! I so badly want to see someone shut that jackass up, and Roberts is just the man to do it.

He is unbelievably informed and able to recall any opinion that is thrown at him. Remembers details, remembers reasoning. Whew! Impressive!

4:30? I think I read that up the thread.

Ask Leni, I'm sure she has something scheduled during the next break. :-)

I just want to know how G.W.B. is going to top or equal Roberts. I'm looking forward to seeing him rise to the challenge, but clearly this guy has the package. He's giving all these self important Senators fits.

LOL......I heard her say that right after I posted that and wondered if maybe THAT should be the Number One phrase!

Break? Nah, not until we settle the matter of the "last remaining toad". Very appropriate for her.
