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.

Naw, I'm at a place where TV definitley takes a back seat to all the other fun activities that are going on.

Just checking in, and the FReepers are doing their usual fine job on the live thread.

How many more days of questions are anticipated though? Anybody know?

Looking. Thought I had it on my HD. No luck so far.

All of the Dims have left the panel.

This is great. They can dish it out but they sure as heck can't take it.

I wonder if this line of questioning by Sessions on appeallate courts is laying the foundation for defending Robert's statement in opinion that Roe was perhaps decided on inaccurate info, or whatever he specifically said.

Roberts look as though he's enjoying this discussion with Sessions.

I love Sessions! He is the ONLY Senator, if Bush should so choose, I'd accept nominated to the Supremes.

Am I the only one who hates her politics but think she's an attractive woman (before she opens her mouth)?

Fienstein? Yes. You are in the minority I would think.

The words "winter white" make my skin crawl!

Sadly, many younger freepers have no idea what we're talking about. Regrettably, I have an older daughter in her twenties who thinks that winter white is legitimate. It's very painful, but I think there is no cure for this condition. I blame myself. I let the Spiegel catalog into the house.

Yes, you're the only one! LOL

Then again I've had to look at her for way too many years, since I live in San Francisco!!

Over my paygrade, but you might be right. I do think, however, that Roberts will make certain he gives them NOTHING regarding Roe v Wade.

Not a dude and am series. She must have been a looker in her prime, IMHO. I qualified my remark by adding she's attractive EXCEPT when she opens her mouth.

That's a very hard question if we don't know exactly where you live.

In Washington, DC CSPAN-1 is on 90.1 FM.

I bet the CSPAN web site has a listing of stations for every market they are in.
