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.

Agreed. By this time of day they're all out of anything interesting to ask or accuse. So, they start talking about the dearly departed. Camera time. It's all about camera time for the senators. I wonder how many drinks Kennedy has under his belt by now?

Lindsay is embarrassing himself.

This line of questioning is skin-crawlingly awful.

Without fraud in this state, I doubt he'd be there to misrepresent us.

Linsey says he's used to being labeled, so he won't mind, I'm sure, if I label him a McCain Toady.

Biden -- privacy, personal autonomy and the 9th Amendment

I agree. I didn't pay any heed to Ann Coulter's concerns. POTUS is well aware of his Dad's mistake (Souter) and I never worried about POTUS"S choice. I will admit, I was not prepared to be awed, but awed I am.

Roberts is praising Reagan. The DUmmies aren't going to like that. Hopefully they will pass out.

This line of questioning is pathetic. What's Lindsay's end game?

Is Lindsey under the impression that he's supporting Roberts with this line of questions?

I see where Graham is going--trying to point out that all these memos were written to support Reagan's policies--but his tone of voice and demeanor are off-putting.

Did Lindsey just confuse Clinton and Bush?
