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.

I guess. Specter should've never been put into that chair.
He should have asked Roberts if he believes in peanut butter. That would have been a less stupid question.
Biden is a JERK. I can not STAND HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Wow, Biden really is quite the phoney.
blogsforbush.com is publishing some of the transcripts...slow getting them out.
Great Biden's being argumentative and will also be slapped down. It's clear he will not discuss something that may come before the court and will only answer something he's written about.
OK...what's Biden saying now?
I'm on the left coast. We have the Corsican sisters; Boxer, and her somewhat smarter sister, Feinstein (at least she voted for Condoleeza Rice.)
Biden's being extremely agressive here.
I am going to PUNCH HIM through the t.v. he is a slime bag.
It depends on what the meaning of "saying" is!
The plugz fake smile . . . is an insult.
Foxnews is covering it.
Oh, oh ... over to C-SPAN3.
Abortion is being mentioned so often because these Senators know they are complicit in murder if Roe is ever overturned. They will try to justify the murder of unborn babies to their last breath.
Biden is so full of himself
I'm waiting for Biden to call Roberts "Hey Boss"
Arlen steps in and tells Biden to let Roberts answer the question
