The Dem playbook
The Hill newspaper gives us a peek at the Democratic playbook for the Roberts hearings. Below are the attack assignments for the Democratic members of the Committee:
Kennedy -- civil rights
Leahy -- Bybee torture memo
Biden -- privacy, personal autonomyand the 9th Amendment
Kohl -- Property rights and civil liberties
Feinstein -- "judicial activism" and Roe vs. Wade
Feingold -- limits of executive powers
Schumer and Durbin have wisely refused to show their hand.

Should Judge Roberts have to answer specific questions about issues such as Roe v. Wade?

That is great to hear. Sometimes I wonder if the people on FR are the only ones who can recognize what hideous excuses for humanity these so-called people are. Especially Biden.
You forgot the Sarcasm label LOL. My Little brother can tell you all about having sisters, LOL
Is it just me or is Mrs. Roberts giving off some bad body english seated behind hubby? Her facial expression is not good.
I know it sounds like nit-picking but the msm loves to highlight things like that...especially when they have nothing substantial.
;)
You can bet that piece of bilge is going to be repeated over and over by the MSM until it becomes truth. The disinformation campaign is in full cry now.
Cafferty is DU's CNN darling, Olberman is DU's MSNBC darling.

No notes to read from for Judge Roberts. I think the vote will be R-11 D-8. Judge Roberts is brilliant and a fox in the hen house. He looks you straight in the eye and punches you in the jaw. Knock Outs no TKOs. He knows how to take the heat and not get out of the kitchen.A good man and JUDGE.
You saw that too! Awesome. I hope AP has a picture of that today...
Discriminegates
Lucky for Biden that he isn't Rush Limbaugh.
Someone might have accused him of racism for trying to slip in the "N' word.
New Questions from TED THE SWIMMER:
Judge Roberts, would you support allowing the SCOTUS to issue a special proclamation absolving drunken frat-boy politicians of all guilt when they kill their young mistresses and lie about the circumstances?
Judge Roberts, do you endorse obstruction of justice when committed by liberal politicians who are simply too delirious and depraved to know better?
Judge Roberts, I realize you're kind of a square guy, but would you understand if I allow my family members to rape, pillage and steal as long as we say we are liberal holier-than-thou self-righteous pigs?
With Schumer chomping at the bit, this day can only get better for us.
Now that hits the nail on the head, hadn't looked at it that way.
She's had that look on her face since yesterday, it's her look....
I find your remark somewhat insulting. I don't care what Joseph Farah has to say on this issue and if you're gonna be such a boob, then I don't care what you have to say either. You don't want to debate the issue at hand. You want to give Roberts a rubber stamp, without any constructive criticism whatsoever. Fine.
Was that Garrison???
If so, he's an attorney as well..
Not sure Biden is winning any friends at the courthouses...
Proof to me Biden is a an unimportant little man.
"If I had taped Biden I bet he had more clock time than Roberts did in answering."

Hmmm... this would be a very good recreational use for my chess clock...
See how much time each consumes...
