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.

I toad you so.
"Makes me feel like an absolute retard."
"Au contraire"! (Seeeee I speeekk Frrrench!).
The fact that you take the time to listen to Judge Roberts' testimony, and read and comment on FreeRepublic regarding it eliminates the possibility to me that you are not smart. You care. I bet you are a smart gal.
Bunches.
Prarie - You missed him zing SloJo Biden several times. It was beautiful...
It's not his job to "defend the pro-life cause." It's his job to be a judge.
LOL, My mommy taught me the same thing!
That's not conflict is it?
He is truly impressive. Bush hit a grand slam with Roberts.
In the years to come, we may not always agree with him, but I know he will have given honest and complete thought to his descision.
But Did the toad cross the border???? I will not be able to sleep tonight until I get a definitive answer!
I bet she has on cream colored heels.
EEEKKK.
Paging George Felos
"Well I will try to keep up. LOL did I miss Sessions?"
Nope....He is still in the bullpen....maybe next?
That's one toad over the line...
Who is the remarkable Democrat that Sessions is quoting as saying he loves and supports his country over politics.
I'm sitting here watching this online and thinking "Damn, where did they find this guy?".... The guy is brilliant.
Never let it be said that some on the right aren't reactionary:)
No. The hapless toad lived it's whole life in California. Hence there was no interstate commerce.
Yeah & she will claim they are "winter white". So tacky...
Try not to inject the pesky facts into the thread; it confuses the malcontents.
Well, you are too kind. I can however, admit when I am outsmarted.
Let's give POTUS all the credit!
