At least Biden admitted out of the box that he's over-matched, though I'm sure that won't tame his disbelieving ego.

Roberts also said, he respected and admired SCJ Jackson, who was FDR's AG, for his ability to change his mind or opinion on a given issue. As AG Jackson had one set of standards. As a judge, Jackson had another set of standards. Roberts finds that an admiring quality.Roberts actually thinks lawyers should advocate their client's position and judges should impartially rule? The Horrah!

Why should a Senator be scared to question a nominee if he's not planning to play 'gotcha'?

Unreasonable, Senator, are those things growing out of your scalp.
To: Mo1
And he's smiling!
Danger, Will Robinson!
He's too cute by half.
And loves to hear himself talk.
I hope Roberts slaps him down.

Biden lecturing instead of questioning.....probably doesn't know enough to ask one.

Sorry- I disagree. I think of Thomas Beckett: he was King Henry's good friend, but when he became archbishop of Canterbury, his role changed, and so did his perspective.
I was once a Union steward (back in my liberal days) but I had to stay within the framework of a Union Contract when I handled grievances. Sometimes what happened to people (like getting fired) was addressable under that contract, sometimes it was not. Sometimes real jerks got their jobs back because the agreement was clearly violateed. Sometimes real sweethearts lost their job because the contract was NOT violated. To me it was very important that the contract prevailed--as it should have--not my own personal feelings.
I think this is exactly how Roberts is going to approach his very important job of upholding the Constitution. His own PERSONAL feelings will not determine how he rules, the CONSTITUTION will!
