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.

Where?..he just signed a big contract extention..
LOL -- Schumer, full of himself, as always.
You forgot the 7 heads with I on the foreheads.
This brings to mind the previous confrontation with Roberts/Chuckie when orrin Hatch introduced a choice phrase.
Illegal Amigos?
Holy S**t -
Schumer digs deep...
OOOOH my, I'm sure Judge Roberts is shaking in his boots about your threat to get back to it, Chuckles!!
Schumer isn't only full of himself........
36 I's
Mark my words: Roberts is going to be confirmed and sent to the bench with everyone thinking he is a moderate, then he will rule from the right. He is going to do just the opposite of what O'Connor and Souter did.
This is over..Chuckie is conceding...
In my mind, McCain IS Graham's biggest problem.
Why do liberals always think we have loads of regret? Because they shape (elite) public opinion that we have to change our values?
Oh man..........the arrogance of these liberals is truly TRULY amazing!!!!!!!!
So Chuckie feigns outrage over "illegal amigo" yet let's Hillary's F'ng Jew Bast*rd said to Dick Morris or Clinton calling Mario Cuomo Mafioso Thug stand? Puleeze.
And Graham's staff KNOWS that.
Exactly. That's wishful thinking on Schumer's part.
Roberts is smacking him now. He won't answer him directly and rightfully so.
His own views are NOT part of the equasion.
Schumer is looking pathetic.
