Good question by Hatch. Not surprisingly she refused to answer directly.

All I got is that Roberts thinks the ADA should cover only the truly disabled.

Geez, what a concept! Burn him at the stake, for crying out loud.

I can't either. Besides, they have two small children. When one half of a couple has a demanding job, I think it's hard for the other to take an equally demanding job. That darling little boy looks like he's a handful. I had a child like that and had to curtail my professional career. But I've never regretted it and I doubt that she would want to be on the bench with her husband.

Senator Hatch to witness Marcia Greenberger "Have you ever supported Republican for a Supreme Court?". And of course she can't hide the fact she (or rather her organisation) never did.

Her point? Same as the others: Roberts is not a Ginsberg and he MUST be feared and bludgeoned.

He has been zinging her pretty good. Now old Ted the Swimmer is trying to save some face with this panel.

Jeez! He's a disabled alcoholic according to the ADA.

Fortunately, the rules allow the Dims to pick only 15. And with John Dean not testifying, that's one less.

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?

Rush started a "Victims Update" featuring Anita Hill back in the day.

Women's rights -- I am a woman, and I don't want their damn view of rights.

They actually think they speak for all of us.

And now Kennedy is asking about progress with regard to the situation of disabled people. That surely has a lot to do with a confirmation of a Supreme Court Justice.

He is one of my favorites. Seems like the older he gets the bolder he gets. Someone please harpoon that whale Kennedy!
