Nomination of John G. Roberts [LIVE Thread 9-13]~Day Two
Senate Judiciary ^ | 9-13-05 | Senate Judiciary Committee

Posted on 09/13/2005 5:01:31 AM PDT by OXENinFLA

Q&A with Roberts to Start
On Tuesday, the eighteen members of the Senate Judiciary Cmte. begin questioning Chief Justice nominee John Roberts. This will take all day, with the senators asking their questions, up to a half-hour for each member, in order of seniority, alternating by party.

The Schedule (media advisory)


Tentative Schedule for the Hearing: Schedule is subject to change

Tuesday, Sept. 13

9:30 am Chairman Specter begins 30 minute round of questioning (Round 1)

1:00 pm Break for lunch

2:00 pm Resume questioning

6:00 pm Break for dinner

7:00 pm Resume questioning

8:30 pm Round 1 questioning ends


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.

"Justice" Schumer stumbling

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

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 has said he practiced only a very short time and decided it wasn't for him.

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.
