Of course he does, he's a Rat. They think everyone else is stupid.
I think in the nicest of ways he just slapped Leahy silly.
Poor Mrs. Roberts,,,I wish she could just go home, put on her jammies and watch this on tv.
Yep, like a burr under the saddle.
Wow...what a concept!
NOPE!! It sure isn't! I just love the expressions on John Roberts face when Leaky poses a stupid question!
Damn, Roberts is giving a lesson to Leahy.
Leaky is showing is hand ... there is a reason he keeps asking this question over and over and over
Leaky has already made up his leaky mind.
Leaky doesn't seem to know the meaning of COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF of the Armed Forces.
How insulting for Judge Roberts to be grilled by these morons...I bet he thinks he's losing brain cells just answering some of these questions.
Roberts' answer is that it depends on the particulars. Congress controls the purse strings, Roberts pointed out, so it can defund a war. Just as a curious Constitutional question, Leahy's question is interesting. I wish Roberts had a better answer. One would think that Congress does not give a president the authority to wage war in perpetuity. Indeed, Roberts might have mentioned the Revolutionary War, where Congress was poised to quit fighting and negotiate with England several times. Washington was always able to talk them out of it. That history (and I realize it predates the Constitution) perhaps gives us a lesson.
All that said, Leahy is still a tool, though he's not being as big a schumck as I expected him to be. Kennedy and Biden, I trust, will not disappoint.
Abu Graub?
Leaky just earned his commission check from the NY Times.
I don't think Leaky understands the judges answer! LOL
Roberts: "Senator, you're vastly over-reading your own intelligence."
Just more hot air from the Leaky One
It was Leahy, Biden and Teddy that voted against Roberts in his first hearing, correct?
Roberts will be CJ long after Leahy is moldering in the grave. It galls Leahy as it galls all narcissists.
What is "Jonestown" or "Youngstown"??? I'm lost on that.
Leahey must have his crack-cocaine stash under that 'appletree' he sits under to ponder serious matters.
