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.

"So you think Roberts should say, 'Yes, I've studied Roe v. Wade extensively and find that it is repugnant to the Constitution. I shall see that it is overturned as soon as I am confirmed.' "
Man oh man, would I love to see that happen!!!

I don't receive C-Span3! Just as well.
Well worth it to have Schumer cut off...lol.
Does anyone know whether Schumer has ever actually PRACTICED law as a lawyer, not just a politician?
Not too sure as he, like Biden and Kennedy, threatened to get back to "it" tomorrow. They will review their strategy tonight, and either let him slide or fire up tomorrow.
OMG Chuckie is going to be pissed to know he was cut off in mid stream as c-span broke away.
Ummm what's the Katrina count btw.
The fireworks was a'hole Biden shooting off his mouth.
Schumer stuck on commerce clause.
And I wonder how his staff knows that! LOL
IS THERE A QUESTION HERE, CHUCK????
I don't get C-Span 3 and now have no coverage, as of 5 minutes ago. Shoot!
Enough for me.
I'm going to an art show.
LOL!
Feel the silence, he wouldn't care... in fact, he would get excited by it. Reminds me... where's my ammo.
