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.

Chucky, Chucky, Chucky......do you really want to go there? I've heard senators and reps. from your party say much worse about President Bush and our soldiers.

To Chuckster --It's open season, all year long, on conservatives.

Chuckie trying to drive a wedge between Roberts and Conservatives.

With his toy hammer. Square pegs in round holes.

Yes, but his constituents were/are not.

Lindsey's comfort with his choice is one thing. Re-Election is another, and since he made that pact he has quietly gone all up and down the state trying to douse the ire of those at home.

Lindsey is not one to turn their back on, he is alike his mentor McCain.

Since Schumer is apparently shocked by the free speech utlitized to condemn judges, I wonder what he'd think of the things we have to say about him and/or senators?

Here we go.
Accusing Roberts of capriciously using the Ginsberg rule.

For crying out loud.

Hi m, good you're keeping the I's.

In a tone, how do you write in a tone? It must be me.

"I hope you'll think about that overnight, cause I'll get back to that tomorrow"

Ooh, Schmucky, I'm sure Roberts is shaking in his boots!

Schumer is pleasantly surprised

He's repeated this just now.

Now he's perplexed.

Schumer incorrectly thinks Roberts must speak on same issues that Ginsburg spoke on.

Schumer has no sense of humor.
