Mahoney was great!

[onyx]

Is this the woman from algore's team?

[maryz]

Ah, Browner. What did she say about non-delegation?

[StarFan]

We've done racism, bias against women and now the enviroment... can abortion be far behind?

Did they cover voter fraud yet? BTW wasn't there to be an abbreviated lunch break? Have they resumed?

[hoosiermama]

Yelp!

[Chuck54]

This is she.

[Piranha]

I'm a lawyer, and it almost made me cry.

I know what you mean. It's not often that you see the utter brilliance of a man at the pinnacle of his profession, and who is operating in such a principled manner in everything that he does.

This presentation is more uplifting that Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (perhaps that should have been his favorite movie). One man goes to Washington, D.C., teaches constitutional law as it never has been taught anywhere else, drills into the heads of these Democratic senators -- time and time again -- that a lawyer/judge simply thinks differently than a legislator, and winds up creating a mold for other strict constructionists who may be nominated in the future.

Judge Roberts is a man who lives and breathes elevated legal analysis like no other person I have ever seen before. I would bet that this performance will move idealistic college students to apply to law school, the way that All the President's Men moved them to become journalists in the 1970s.

[onyx]

Yes, just resumed. I barely had time to go pick up my Pug dog from the groomer's.

Voter fraud? Not yet, unless you throw it in with Lewis's remarks.

[Chuck54]

They have resumed, this is live and in color. 45" lunch break.

[hoosiermama]

So what did she say about ROberts...DIdn't even hear her opinion on him....

[maryz]

"Robust federal" rule in enforcing env standards.

I googled her yesterday -- couldn't remember something negative I vaguely recalled (Miss Marple later said it was something about shredding documents after 2000). Her name showed up mostly on sites that demolish junk science.

[Bahbah]

Reminds the committee not to assume view expressed in memos are necessarily his.

I am beginning to resent this line. Those views, or a lot of them, happen to be my views. They are conservative, common sense views. There is nothing wrong with them. I don't want apologies for them. I want them to prevail.

[syriacus]

Katheryn Webb Bradley supports Roberts even though she is a Democrat and does not support Bush.

Roberts well-prepared, clearly presented whatever he was advocating.

Katheryn Webb Bradley - A dem up supporting Roberts

[onyx]

I am pleasantly stunned by the remarks of this woman with the dowdy haircut.

[AliVeritas]

Can I refer you to DU?

[Don_Ret_USAF]

When I was in school, children were off spring of people. While kids were off spring of goats. Had a aunt that taught English and Latin. If I said Kid's in reference to children. She boxed your ears. Remember that lesson through out my life.

[onyx]

Roberts conducted a moot court at her request.

[hoosiermama]

Hope the liberals are listening to her....."existing legal framework" That's what they don't want to hear.

[Chuck54]

She was extremely low-key today. She was just trying to get out Robert's should adhere to the environment regardless of the commerce clause.

She was time-constrained and never got her rythem.
