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.

The toad decision.
FI: What if the toad strayed across the state border?"
Fried frogs' legs?
HA! She is quietly trying to get him to falter. WON'T happen.
Well that settles it. I'm eating early. :-)
A few already have been! ;-)
Did she really say that?
Toads?
Fishing?
What the hell is she talking about?
Is she Dan Rather's clone?
what do you get when the toad crosses the road?
The Racho Valejo case. He wanted to rehear it en banc.
Church and State question.
Anyone think Di will understand what Roberts is saying about the Toad case?
Nope. She just thanked him. LOL Sounds like she didn't understand a word and will pass it to her staffer to review his response.
Is there a new series of jokes here? Why did the toad cross the road?
Church and State now.
I'll bet this guy really blew away the bar exam.
Another "he's not conservative enough" unappeasable heard from.
I'm using windows and it's fine now
But I'm trying to find out what Diane is worried about the constitutional rights of toads
I've been ill and after I let out the third Dean like scream at the little d, a neighbor came over to check on me. She's watching with me now. LOL
She just misquoted the 1st Amendment.
He is sharp. I doubt any one of these intellectually inferior Senators will be able to shake him in any way.
If he doesn't get confirmed - I want him in '08
"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."
I listened to someone interviewing Henry Kissinger on TV many many years ago in the mid-70's. I fell into a deep sleep on my couch after a few minutes of hearing his rather unusual voice. I believe I woke up when I got married in 1977. (har har).
She's asking the questions.
