Reginald Turner, pres. National Bar Association. Brought Dean Elfreda Washington of G. Wash Univ(?) and someone else.

Asks committee to ensure nominee qualified. NBA has established process, takes position after exhaustive review. Record "unfortunately complex and troubling."

[Nat'l Bar Assn was founded apparently a professional black ABA.]

"Katrina" for those of you in the drinking game!

Uh oh. Katrina again.

Hurricane Katrina did nothing as much as expose the last 40 years of our Great Society and what a drain on America it has been,

They will not support. What a surprise.

Everyone wants face time.

This testimony is not helpful for their side. It is vague and all emcompassing.

I think poeople are sick to death of this whining.

This guy's testimony is very thin. Not even a good baiter. NBA doesn't known what a government lawyer is either, apparently.

You're welcome! I do my best when I can -- I'm home today, but I've depended many times on live threads (and undoubtedly will again) when I'm in the office. I always like to see a lot of content. ;-) Though relevant commentary is certainly welcome.

If Roberts announced those views as his own, though, we'd have rounds of Dem questioning and worse histrionics than we have now until Roberts dies of old age!

Yes, I realize that. But don't we all see how wrong that is, not that Roberts neither wants to confirm or deny them, but that the dems think they can get away with painting them as wrong and evil and not be challenged.

Let me get this straight. The President of the National Bar Association is making a racial statement out of this? How can any non-left-leaning lawyer-to-be stand a chance whe the head of the Bar Association runs around bitching and throwing the race card around? How f'ing biased is this guy? This is outrageous...

Roberts is an intellectual giant amongst men and this schmuck is berating him? This is pissing me off.

Roberts has a complex and troubling record according to NBA's Mister Turner, a democrat flunkie.

Mr. Turner. National Bar Association -- 20,000 lawyers of color

Sounds like a Democrat. Pretending that he was open-minded as he and other members of the NBA looked at Roberts' record.

A snowball would have a better chance in H&ll than Roberts would have of getting approval from the NBA.

We're all pissed. That race card has been played so many times, for so many years, that it really should be discarded.

Here comes fatassdrunkboy.
