You hear this caller?

[hoosiermama]

Sad when the speaker from Michigan (who said he's a retired lawyer) diesn't know wht the "Rule of Law" is.....Not surprising however.

[ChadGore]

Panel of outside advocates will resume in 20 mins.

Was Turbin ever in the private practice of law or has he been a bureaucrat all of his life?

He - and the talking heads on PBS are chagrined that Roberts said that he would have taken the side of Colorado in the gay rights case. Why in the hell wouldn't he, since over 60% of the voters in Colorado had expressed their preference?

Didn't they have a case? Standing?

[defconw]

No I missed that. They all did well, giving Roberts backup and allowing him to clarify and smack down the Rats as well. It was good, good team work.

[AliVeritas]

I think that's three for Estrada

[Cyber Liberty]

I'd hold off until after the Roberts floor vote, if I were Prez...which I am not, darnit...

[StarFan]

I now give you my next choice for the SC.........drum roll please............Miguel Estrada

With the news that conservative strategists are demanding the Senate Judiciary give them access to an estimated 4,000 Democratic memos that are in Senate Sergeant at Arms William Pickles’ possession, they're certainly laying the groundwork for Estrada, IMHO.

[NeoCaveman]

They'll have a full court. O'Connor isn't leaving until she's replaced.

I thought Roberts was her replacement.....

[MinuteGal]

Seventh inning stretch.....I'm gonna get some work done, I hope.

Thank you! I'll write him a grand thank you note. :)

Does anyone have access to any "Ophelia" models that show an eastward movement that could knock out power in the D.C. area for, oh, say 6 to 8 weeks? That would be such a blessing.

[AliVeritas]

oh oh, this lady from Chicago Theological is going to be used to tear his faith down.

[hoosiermama]

But...but...but Leni, Don't ja know that WORK is a four letter word?

[onyx]

I have CP 3 muted. :)

[EQAndyBuzz]

I am going with Estrada. Just a gut feeling

[AliVeritas]

You noticed that too?

I only wish all high school students in America could watch these past few days of hearings in total.

I couldn't agree more. My wife taught for 15 years. She said last night that John Roberts makes the law easy to understand. That he speaks the same language most of us do.
