DEMOCRATS: THE PARTY OF OBSTRUCTION, DENIAL, DEPENDENCE, and RACIAL DIVIDE.

"I was somewhat troubled today by virtually every one of our Republican colleagues urging the nominee not to be responsive to questions," said Kennedy. "It is very important for the American people to understand who this justice is all about."

"I was surprised by my colleagues on the other side of the aisle," said Schumer. "If all you can say about a nominee is that he shouldn't answer questions — that's not the strongest argument starting out. Of course he should answer questions."

If the Fat Bloviating Massachusetts Whale isn't more than somewhat troubled, the Pubbies must not be doing their job.

And let me say that Schumer is just a truly disgusting piece of humanity.

The question is whether any committee Democrats — the ones who once approved his nomination — can be persuaded to vote yes on Roberts a second time.

That isn't the question at all. No Democrat votes are needed to move Roberts nomination out of committee to the Senate floor. The question is why are these lunatic Democrats wasting America's time and money?

"The question is whether any committee Democrats — the ones who once approved his nomination — can be persuaded to vote yes on Roberts a second time."

Wake old Byron York up.

Even people that have assumed room temperature have discounted the Dimocrat yea vote on this nomination.

The question should be just how many RHINO's will cave to their leftist leanings.

This is another chance for the Rat Senators to sit up there and prove just how stupid they really are about the constitution and everything else they stick their nose into. Bunch of selfgrandizing jackasses.

This should be an opportunity to ask Senators who voted to confirm him earlier why they did so if they cannot do so now. If Republicans are smart--and don't beat the issue to death--they could score some points while showing the utter hypocrisy of the dem party. Not all democrats are crazy people like the few who get media attention.

The Senate continually disappoints.

Too Bad our GOP Leaders ( and I use the word leader loosely) Too bad our GOP "leaders are so timid & unwilling to confront the slander against republicans by the Liberal Democrats & their accomplices in the media.
UGH

[RGSpincich]

I hate the Democrats and I hate the prissy looks of Roberts. Can't we find some grizzled old judge with no kids that'll tell these a$$holes to stuff it?

Okay guess not. In that case, confirm and bear it.

I, too, was somewhat aghast yesterday when I heard Specter reeling off the list of historical happenings in that room concerning disasters and hate-charged hearings.

What was his purpose?

Was he subtly warning Judge Roberts that he, too, could be added to the disaster list?

Were these the gloomy ramblings of a man possibly facing the spectre of his own demise from cancer?

Was he reflecting the cynicism and negativism of the senate as a whole during the past several years?

Arlen's opening remarks were a puzzlement, to be sure. Not something to obssess about, but it does make one wonder if a certain percentage of the senatorial body isn't just plain weird.

Arlen Specter likes to stand out with his quirkiness. I doubt it runs much deeper than that.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

.... I hate the prissy looks of Roberts.

I was impressed by his 6 1/2 minutes.

[auboy]

If these bad actors had to take their show to Broadway, it would close on opening night. Someone take a baseball bat and clear the room, please.

[auboy]

I wish Specter wouldn't talk with his mouth full. Bad manners.
