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.

Back from the Pub just in time to see Chuckie Cheese get a make-over.
To Chuckster --It's open season, all year long, on 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?
LOL-LOL-LOL. I happen to concur.
Precisely- Chuckie has suddenly found himself up against a SCHOLAR who he can't manipulate...gotta love this.
People...hes not that smart that Graham.
Here we go.
Accusing Roberts of capriciously using the Ginsberg rule.
For crying out loud.

Chuckie wants to get into a few things .. but doesn't want him to comment on them?????
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!

Here we go....racism. Dims always fall back on the old tried and true attack.
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.
ROFL!
