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.

LOL, Mr. KARL ROVE.
Yes, thanks. Not paying enough attention and was thinking about Cornyn at the same time. They both have a "y" in their last names :)
Go for it it, I already e-mailed him, I don't care who these guys think they are. They work for me as far as I am concerned.

Undoubtedly. He's absolutely amazing.
Not one of the senators are on par with him, including our own, although we have some brilliant ones.
Either a degree of a photographic memory, or a highly disciplined memory. End result is the same, though the latter would require a degree more of work to reach. I'd love to know the answer.
CANONS of ETHICS --- Ha!
Feingold "guess I'll have to move on then."
And now Feingold's trying to pretend Roberts is refusing to answer questions. Roberts is completely unflappable.
LOL what a maroon.
Did some leftist group file a motion requesting Roberts to recuse himself from the Hamdan matter? If so, that's an f-up by the leftists, as it's a pending matter on which he can't comment.
Feingold is truly an idiot. He keeps pressing Roberts to tell him why one of his constituents feels a certain way!
Were I Roberts I would say, Well, senator, your presence here in the Senate is proof positive that there are a lot of ignorant and stupid people in Wisconsin. Perhaps he is one of them.
Is Feingold Gay?
Roberts just bunny slapped Feingold. Invoking the Canons of Judicial Ethics. Superb!
He just b!tchslapped Feingold.
That was awesome.
Roberts just pounded Feingold. "My hands are tied, it's a matter of ethics". "I am simply not permitted to speak about decisions that are pending"
Feingold "I guess we'll move on".
Classic!
Move On Feingold!
So he abruptly said okay let's just move on.
The lefty Move On organization is probably a little frustrated right now, also.

Let's ask Souter...lol.
I swear, Mrs. Roberts has that "how dumb is this guy" look on her face.
