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.

Now trying to turn JR against conservatives.
Chuckie knows he's beat. Here comes the real grandstanding.
Chuckie trying to drive a wedge between Roberts and Conservatives.
Really...He said the Yankees were gonna win the WS?
I meant he's redeemed himself from how he started out with that "write Rehnquist's legacy."

Satanic Bastard. He's trying to get him to attack those who are behind him. This isn't NYT, go off on him. Don't go for his bull.
Same thought I had.....you are scaring me....:-)
That question doesn't have a damn thing to do with being a Chief Justice
Evidently it only bothers Schumer when judges are criticized by conservatives.
Thanks for clarifying what Graham is doing....I'm cubically challenged and was getting confused by the postings. Thanks for shedding light on the subject as always!!
Pretty much sums up the man I'm forced to call my Senator.
Personal attacks are beyond the pale.
Schumer is pleasantly surprised by some of his answers today.
Here comes the Scalia and Thomas stuff.
Schumer lost his place.......couldn't find what he was reading........LOL.
You're a consistent cuss, I'll give you that!
Here we go....the abortion god of the left has raised it's ugly head.

Howlin - BINGO.
Oh-Oh Now Schumer has 3 legs?
OMG...Did you HEAR what Chuckie just said? "I've been pleasantly surprised today......"
I loathe him. If he burned to death, I would scour the world to find each ash, spend years in college and invent a way to bring him back... then kill him again. Wait till I see him. Scumbag.
