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

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.

Schumer is a Double A pitcher facing a Hall of Famer. His curves have no bite.

Schumer is worried.....
Schumer: "In my view..."
A nominee better be lucky,
And get approval from close-minded Chucky,
His vehemence floors us
-- He's a one-man Greek chorus --
Whose vision for America's yucky.

You know what that means, don't you? It means one of the GOP guys shot the legs out from under all of Chuckie's argument.

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.Why don't you say what you really mean? Don't hold back!
