They are. They're shills and DNC folks with an agenda

I still don't know why they seems to think we are going to take their civil rights away

I agree it's been abused, I have a 66 yr old sister confined to a wheel since the age of 9, she has never felt challenged or felt humiliation!

Question how did Tommy Goodwin end up in the chair? The cops shoot him? I am confused. Was Roberts a lawyer in this case?

The woman just siad that she is no expert on John Roberts. So what is she doing as the witness during this hearing?

Court TV back -- Roberts' record on ADA raises questions. Robert thinks ADA should be narrowly construed to cover only the truly disabled. [not sure what her problem is here] Disabled need protection of Congress. Wants Roberts to be sure rights of disabled are not stripped away.

This is the best they could find? She opposes him because of what he might do (that he gives no evidence of).

They just want to bludgeon a GOOD man because they can't stack the court with Darth-Vader-Ginsberg's.

MSM will play along and THAT is tragic.

We should ALL be applauding the nomination of this GOOD man.

Well you should ask. Is any person who has a grievance of any kind against society or God or the U.S. government allowed to show up and blather and whine about their grievances, and we're supposed to hold it against John Roberts?

You're right. Finding another nominee smarter than the committee members shouldn't be difficult. God help us if it is. They've really shown their lack of intellectual ability this week. But finding one brighter than Judge Roberts could be a daunting task indeed. And one who communicates so easily and well. He's really good. A quote by Joe Biden I believe.

Clearly, she has no business testifying. She's just reading a script. Such a sham.

Does she have a point I missed when Court TV cut out? All I got is that Roberts thinks the ADA should cover only the truly disabled. And her point is?

All of them read from a script - some (repubs) were better than others. OBTW, it was obvious to be that Kennedy had set up the question to the one woman (can't remember who), who then read her answer FROM THE NOTES!!! Pretty obvious.....

I'd like to testify -- that I have never seen such rude, obnoxious behavior -- that democrats ought to be ashamed.
