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.

Chuckie seems UPSET that we don't agree with him either! And, of course, he alone has the RIGHT viewpoint.

Poor Chuck. The chance of his leaving his imprint on the Supreme Court is shrinking.

When a conservative judge is confirmed to take O'Connor's seat, there will be mass lib politicalcide.

WTH?

Arlen Sphincter just interrupted Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) right in the middle of some praise of Roberts for a "short break" when he could have interrupted Chuck Schumer who was speaking ahead of Cornyn.

What in God's name are you people (you Republicans) thinking when you vote for this POS Sphincter?

Come clean. Tell us!

Congress certainly has the power to pass a law ending a war. They can override a presidential veto. But if that ever happened, it would have to go to the Supreme Court, where lawyers...

But what would foreign law have to say about our Congress overriding a President who is at war with them?

Chuck is more "pushy and loudmouthed" than "brainy."

The Dems seem to have forgotten that John Kerry is not and never was the President. George W. Bush is in the White House, and guess what? He does the nominating.
