They know he is unlikely to choose another Justice while Roberts is still under consideration.

Well therein lies the problem as they are constantly misunderestimating him and I doubt he will be swayed into selecting a moderate and upsetting his base. He gets one chance to change the direction of this court and I'm sure he will NOT disappoint.

Teddy was on her show? Man, what a hypocrite she is. Given her history (her fiance being murdered) and her mission in life as a defense attorney (get all of the scum off the street), she has him on her show?

I never enjoyed her, a bit overdramatic for me. But I never doubted her passion. I guess murderers who are senators do not count as low life scum.

I hope so, but President Bush has always had the bad habit of trying to molify the opposition and speak nicely of his enemies. But it only encourages them.

Already, Katrina is his fault.

Committee should vote by next Thursday and hopefully he will be seated on the court the first week in October.

I hate to say it but IMHO this is wishful thinking. The stalling has just begun and willl continue for awhile.

I hope to be proved wrong, but I have a sinking feeling on this happening swiftly.

I think he will be confirmed but not until the Democrats have pleased move.on, naral, NOW, etc. Got to keep those checks coming in for a bit yet.

If I hear the phrase "kabuki dance" one more time from one of these Senators, I'm going to scream.

Is Biden the most arrogant guy in the Senate?

I saw her. I just can't remember, is this always done? Does Roberts have to sit there and listen to the woman hurl insults his way? Or maybe its just them testifying to the Senators saying how horrified they will be if he is confirmed with him not having to be there! Did they have opponents coming in when Ginsberg was up?

Roberts: It's insulting to suggest that a judge is results oriented.

Chuck has been trying for days to get Roberts to give his opinion on something...

Roberts finally gave his opinion on something....

Roberts gave his opinion on Chuck's insults.

Roberts took Chuck and his snobbish condescension, tied them up into a neat little package and handed them back to the Democrats.

It sure is good though. I think my contempt for Biden has risen even higher, and I did not believe that was possible!

is anyone else bothered that Roberts listed the communist Dr. Zhivago as one of his favorite movies?

This is why people think conservatives are nuts. Have you ever seen the movie?

I'm sure you're right, that that's a pretty accurate view of their game plan. What rotten, underhanded jerks these leftist Senators are.

It's OK! I plan to watch the replay too a little later.

Be SURE to see Lindsay Graham.

If he is, he has beat out some hellacious competition!

I have never seen such a concentration of self-serving, arrogant, preening blowhards in my life - not all of them are Democrat, but most of the Democrats "are". Just think about how many years most of these poseurs have been there, slapping each others backs and telling each other they are The Greatest Deliberative Body In The World.

The greatest bunch of phony-baloneys in the world would be more like it!

He was pumped. He was quite angry with that CA judge declaring the Pledge of A unConstitutional because of the words "under God."
