Day Two of Roberts Q&A
On Wednesday, the members of the Senate Judiciary Cmte. finish their first round of questions, beginning with Sen. Sam Brownback (R-KS). A second round for Chief Justice nominee John Roberts will follow, with each senator getting twenty minutes as opposed to the thirty minutes in the first round.

Biden is going to keep trying, Roberts is killing him! LOL
They are not used to being looked straight into the eyes, I notice that some look down while they are sitting there.
Biden is absolutely obtuse. He knows damn well that Roberts cannot and will not answer his dumb, probing, personal, nail you to the cross, questions.
Thank you.
Biden: "It's not abstract it's real."
Roberts: "Well, Senator in the legal sense it is abstract."
Had to consult his SON on how to attack Roberts today.
AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!
Why is Biden asking about his dad not wanting to be on a life-support system? Isn't that what already exists in a DNR?
Why doesn't Roberts just shut down this whole line of questioning, once and for all?
Biden is asking him to speak as a 'father' and tell us how he'd feel about removing a feeding tube. Asking if any law trumps someone's desire to die. Roberts not taking the bait and says there are cases that come up and will come up and he cannot discuss what he would or would not do, personal views aside. The decision will be based on his understanding of the law and not personal views.
BTTT!!!!!!
A real world considertation is that abortion is not about an abstract choice made by a woman.. It is about the real world act of killing babies.
It is typical of a smart lawyer to use his opponents words to tell what he will do.
Biden now overgeneralizing about cases of disconnecting feeding tubes.
I See Biden got his zinger Sound-Bite in...
We are rolling the dice with you judge.
Oh STUFF IT!
Paraphrasing Biden:
"Judge Roberts, the decision to pull the plug on a terminally ill individual is one of the most private, personal issues that we might face. It must always remain a totally private matter. By the way, judge, tell us and all the folks watching at home whether you'd pull the plug on a dying loved one or not."
Roberts should ask him
"You mean incompetent as in Terry Shavio or actually brain dead such as yourself"
After the hammering Biden got in the press yesterday, I am stunned he's back at it again.
Somebody PLEEEEEZ tell Slow Joe Biden to SHUT UP !
Biden is a moron. His feeding tube question is an abstract legal question.
