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.

"Scalia also said he would not have assisted in working to see Colorado Amendment 2 overturned."
Really, I hadn't heard that. Do you have a cite?
Smack down on Kennedy!
I love Sessions.
Does this make the hapless toad an illegal immigrant???
Well worth the wait even if my bottom screams in pain having sat far too long in this chair.
Yahoo. Now Sessions is correcting Kennedy's misstatements!
I can tell you right now that it's Judge Roberts vs an ARMY of dim staffers and dim Senate readers, and that Judge Roberts is beating the everloving crop out of every single one of them.
I sincerely hope that the dims don't know how stupid he is making every single one of them look--as they sit there with those freaking scripts and he sits there with his integrity and his awesome intellect...I sincerely hope the dims keep it up for a couple of weeks. I can visualize them going right down the toilet as they play their stupid gotcha games and fail in the face of his clearly photographic memory and herculean logic.

Wow. Teddy will explode.
Can only give you my conclusion as a conservative sort of conservative. He's doing splendidly. His views are reassuring to our side and his intelligent responses are in bold contrast to the spittle-flecked rantings of the Democrats questioning him.
Yes. But he didn't hop. He drove his toadster.
HA! Look at Roberts. He's adorable. He's enjoying this!
Oh, I say that all the time; why do you think I stay in so much trouble. :-)
lmao!
Sessions is great! he's reintroducing all the issues the dems did, and enabling Roberts to clarify and reconfirm the constitutionality of his previous decisions.
LOL, Kennedy just rolled into the hearing.
In fact, he played JUSTICE SCALIA at the moot court hearing. He didn't play Justice Souter.
"Duly Noted" -- Are you the "Judge Judy" of this thread?
Nope the hapless toad was born a Californian and died a Californian. He was too broke to move.
The words "winter white" make my skin crawl!
Jeff is so cute.
