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.

There's goes my lunch appetite!
The Kennedy family is a stain on the history of this nation, every last one of them. And Teddy is the darkest of all the stains
Foxnews has GWB which is even better.
PJ O' Rourke (who knows him) calls Judge Roberts the 'Stealth Scalia.' He's gonna be a good one as CJOTUS!
LOL---Coincidence? I think NOT!
They think they have a clue. I want him to mop Schmucky and Fraudenstein across the floor.
You meant FAT mouse, didn't ya?!
Very well said. We are not rid of them all yet, but we are getting there.
I have one question... why? Do you work for Jenny Craig or Bulimic Association of America?
"I LOVE IT....SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE SPECTER."
correction that's SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE "SPHINCTER"
I did not know that. I love PJ O'Rourke.
Vitter started his speech with ----"I am here to talk about the OTHER Gulf WAR..."
lmao! It's going to be 4-5 hours before I can eat again too.
Pres. Bush & Iraqi Pres. on FNC live now.
The Kennedy offspring are even dumber than the previous generation.
Civil Rights legislation under the Reagan administration and the AG, which were not his position, but theirs.
Where is the BARF alert? I know he's one of ours an all but GMAB.
Thanks.
I have absolutely no respect for any of them, and that includes JFK, IMHO the only notable thing JFK every did was to become a backstop for a Rifle Round
