Q&A with Roberts to Start

The Schedule (media advisory)
Tentative Schedule for the Hearing: Schedule is subject to change

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?

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.
