LOL -- well, to be accurate, she said she trusts her children's RIGHTS to Roberts. Might have thrown in her grandchildren's rights too.

LOL, my aunt the English teacher would agree with you. But they only throw the "children" in there to inflame us, they don't see to care about "children" while they are still in the womb, but I have given up on that line, as they will never see it.

She says that if Roberts had won his cases, Latinos and African-Americans would be in bad shape.

Chief Justice must understand our changing nation. Roberts showed lack of respect for the history of the Kickapoo Indian Tribe and others.

Anne Marie Tailman -- Mexican-American ed and leg (?).

Oh, illegal immigrant children would have been barred from public schools. Intrusion into privacy rights of Americans? (Are illegals American??)

Criticized decision barring down Texas law barring illegals from public schools. Roberts derided civil liberty and privacy concerns about national ID cards.

Voting rights -- mischaracterized her committee's attempts to do something as unAmerican(?).

Roberts displayed "pattern of insensitivity and dismissive comments" against Mexicans, congressmen who supported equal pay (comparable pay?) and some Indian tribe I never heard of.

Note: she could benefit from a logic course, a semantics course and perhaps a course in American constitutional law (but she might already have the crash course from dems).

LOL. I noticed that as well. All of the sudden, she turned into "Jenny from the Hood".

BTW wasn't there to be an abbreviated lunch break?

They figured they'd shorten lunch today...... because Roberts ate their lunch so thoroughly the past two days.

RE- Hanoi Kerry

I cannot tell you where I came by this information but you can be sure it was not nor never will be reported by the MSM. I received this information from 5 eyewitnesses to the following (I can't say who, they may get into trouble).

This past December (perhaps January, but I think I was told December), the soldiers at Camp Cook in Al Taji, Iraq, noticed the security had been beefed up. For those of you who don't know, the facilities at Al Taji are divided into 2 parts; Camp Cook, which is for the American fighting forces, and the other half is where some of the Iraqi Army and police are trained. Remember the 2 buses of Iraqi soldiers that were ambushed and killed? They were coming from Al Taji.

Anyway, the reason for that beefed up security soon became known. A Blackhawk helicopter landed and out stepped Hanoi Kerry. I was told, "Gee, he's even uglier in person!" My comment was, "The election is over so he was off the Botox." Hanoi Kerry did not acknowledge our soldiers, he acted as if they didn't exist. He walked over to the Iraqi side of the facilities and attended a ceremony there, then came back and demanded to be flown over Fallujah (this was before our troops went in and cleaned it out.) For this to be done, 2 Apache Attack helicopters had to go with the Blackhawk carrying Hanoi Kerry, flying underneith to protect him. This is a formation that the terrorists look for, knowing that someone high up is in the Blackhawk, and risked the lives of the pilots and crew of those two Apache helicopters.

When they returned safely, thanks to our fighting soldiers, Hanoi Kerry left, again without acknowleding our soldiers existence. Our soldiers did acknowledge Kerry with a fine salute; but the only used 1 finger.
