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.

Thanks sweetie!
Give me my toaster lady..
Is that how they introduced Chuckie?
You just made my day. Scarborough's gotta be worried. No wonder he let up on the President last night.
Chuck being spanked.
Chuck mentioning the toad
~On Chuck Schumer~
He's not been a very good sport
His only technique is to thwart
When he's not telling lies,
He loves to "advise"
Chuck wants his own seat on the court
If this toad thing is the best they've got. They're hapless! oopps I mean hopeless!
OK. your NO vote is so noted. next!
My time is getting close to the end...
HURRAY!
C-span back - thanks for the heads up.
Sir, I have read your comments with interest. It seems there is likely not an actual human being (flawed as we are) who could muster up to your standards.
"Asking him what his regrets are."
What would Chuckie do if Roberts broke into song saying "Regrets, I've had a few, but then again, too few to mention".................LOL
He's not from here is he? I thought he sneaks in to do the show? He's on the list too.
LOL! Dittos!
LOL! No the toad belongs to Feinstein.
Thanks Lisa.
You have my sympathy and prayers.
;-)
A legislative seat opened up and he was on his way to a new career.
So, class, what have learned today: basically that Schumer doesn't agree with Roberts, which makes ME happy.
"If certain viewpoints became the majority viewpoints on the SC..."
Chuckie seems UPSET that we don't agree with him either! And, of course, he alone has the RIGHT viewpoint.
