Q&A with Roberts to Start

The Schedule (media advisory)

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.

Illegal Amigos Yep, chuckie dug deep. And I hope this isn't going to trip up Roberts. 'Course this will be front page headlines to brand Roberts as a bigot.
You can bet Chuckie will come back to it.

Roberts said "illegal Amigo"? cool
To: Jrabbit
That's what I truly detest about them...
As an aside FYI- I heard Bob Bechtel (sp) the liberal commentator on FOX earlier- he was/is FURIOUS with the civil rights leaders who are accusing the president of being racist. I mean not just lip-service- he was MAD that anyone in a position of responsibility would accuse GWB of being racist. I was really amazed to hear him.

Leahy just picked up his water glass the same way a guy at a bar picks up an Old Fashioned on the rocks.
