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 he didn't.
And to this conservative as well. I had hoped and prayed that Bush would take this once in a lifetime opportunity to turn the USSC back into a court which respects and obeys the original intent of the authors. What I am hearing today is not encouraging.
If Roberts turns out to be any less conservative than Rehnquist, and if O'Conner is replaced with another so-called "moderate", the US is doomed to continue down it's present gradual decline into a European-style socialistic cesspool and eventual destruction.
Biden slapdowns #2 and 3 from Spectre!
"He's filibustering."
What a pr!ck.
Biden is the face of the demo party. He does not give a flying flip what the answers are because he only wants to be a PIG HEADED CREAP!
Arlen slaps down Biden AGAIN
Biden says Roberts is filibustering
Then Biden says .. go ahead Judge, don't answer my question
A tiny one.
Biden and Ginsberg? ICK. Why Teddy 7?
Not on nominees to the USSC. Its to important to sit silently by. Sorry. I've been waiting my whole life to get a conservative USSC and I find Roberts a troubling candidate on some issues.
Huh?
Biden has NO respect for the judge, or the SCOTUS.
Shameless.
PERFECT!
Damn. How many Dems has Specter smacked down?
He's doing ok as chairman i guess.
Biden's complaining that he doesn't have enough time???!!! It's because his ridiculously long-winded, condecending questions take up all of his alotted time. He is a pompous fool!!
You better start searching for a new adjective to describe Fineswine, Finegold, and Turdbin. Then of course they're be "CHUCKIE" he's going to embarrass the crap out of the Senate guaranteed IMHO.
now Biden asks the beating your wife question
This face of the demo party is sure negative and hateful not to mention rude and condesending.
I hope that is played on MSM but you know it will not be. Biden calling Roberts a liar.
What a smarmy little f*ck Biden is. I want to beat that man. Badly.
