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.

No .. give me a clue?
LOL! Well, they'd better still be on hand, even though their turns are over for today.
Yup. It's been rumored for quite some time. Unfortunately Crissy will continue to rear his ugly head on the Today Show and Imus with all his free time.
Ya think Congressman Jindal is glad he didn't win after all?
Man what a mess!
Is that the nursing home where one of the freepers said their family members were going to go help out because the staff had bugged out???
What's with the sports guys moving over like that... seems heretical.
More good news: a LA legislator said the other night that steps were already being taken behind the scenes for Blanco's resignation.
we can hope, but I'll bet the Dims will rally around her like they did with Clinton. Politics over common sense always for the Dims!
Frightening!!!!!!
"My daughter is a third year AFJROTC and I am so PROUD OF HER."
So am I!
No, who owned it?
Oh forgive me. Don't know how I ever forgot Sessions.
Awesome news! Hope she resigns . . .
With Jindal as gov. it would not have been such a BIG mess.
LOL -- Sessions wowed me. Our guys are much the better men. That is easily apparent to all but the most partisan of viewers.
It's the nursing home that guy cried about on Meet The Press.........he blamed Bush.
Rush said earlier that Fat Teddy was out interviewing right after his "turn".
Good grief!!
OH! Now that is MOST INTERESTING!
I agree, but the situation would have still been a mess.
Less ego, and better communication with DC would have helped...
BTW Who is the Lt. Gov there?
