LOL, Roberts is not going to break on this! LOL

[Mo1]

Why doesn't Roberts just shut down this whole line of questioning, once and for all?

He's trying to

Biden is trying to make this personal

The Court is not suppose to make decisions on personal feelings

They are to look at a case, the facts and how it applies to the constitution

[A Citizen Reporter]

Biden thinks he's found a wedge issue.

Robert's ain't taking the bait.

[CharlesWayneCT]

Sometimes I wish Roberts would say "I can't comment because I haven't heard the lawyers make the constitutional argument yet. No matter how certain I am about whether something should be constitutional or not, that is a matter for which I have to allow the possibility that a lawyer will present an argument which would persuade me in the other direction."

Biden: "The law is about life" -- while talking about a hypothetical where someone wants to kill themselves.

"Life is Death". The Democrat Motto.

"It's now the top of the third inning and Judge Roberts is ahead 18-0."

That should invoke the "Mercy Rule."

Thanks for the entertainment.

[syriacus]

I notice that some look down while they are sitting there.

Subtle disrespecting Roberts or looking at crib notes?

[chronic_loser]

[auboy]

Grandstander Biden. What a shame on the citizens of Delaware. Shame. Shame. Shame.

[tcrlaf]

LOL! I have TOLD YOU, Uhhh With resoect...

[Eagle of Liberty]

YAY!

Roberts verbally smacks Biden!!

[Howlin]

Biden makes himself look mean-spirited. Again.

[onyx]

Roberts is having to treat him like a child. "With respect, I have already told you yesterday that...."

BRAVO!

"You've told me nothing judge."

LMAO!

[Fester Chugabrew]

KABOOKIE dance?

[defconw]

I'd love to go to lunch today with Judge Roberts, LOL.

[syriacus]

Biden just dissed Kabuki Dancers.

Does he discriminagate against Kabuki dancers?

Biden putting on his best Phil Donahue imitation.

[onyx]

Can you believe this line of questioning?
He is so distorted.

To Biden, EVERYTHING is political.

[Mo1]

[Howlin]

Biden loves to say that!
