Roberts answering question from Kyl on the trend of judges using foreign law to issue decisions and how it is troublesome.

[syriacus]

Roberts concerned that justices are relying on foreign precedents/law.

[auboy]

Good. Really good! You're hammering the target.

She says Bush lets people starve if they don't vote for him.

Kinda an old play on republicans letting old lady's freeze to death and starve eating cat food. I'm realived that only people that don't vote for him freeze and eat catffood.

[Jenya]

I like this Kyl guy. Can he be a Presidential candidate in 08?

[AFPhys]

Unfortunately, I neither have my chess clock with me, nor am I listening to the hearings. Maybe someone else has a chess clock to time each side with - especially during the Dems' "questioning".

[Republican Wildcat]

What in the world? What kind of a picture is that to be put out by a wire service?

Methinks Kennedy won't be sending Roberts any cute email pictures of himself doing foreign court internet research.

[conservativebabe]

Roberts said that the problem with using foreign law is that you can look at cases from anywhere to get the result that you favor.(paraphrasing, in a nutshell).

[airborne]

That was definitely a shot at Arlen. And there sits Leakey whispering in Specter's ear!

[maggief]

Beats the he!! out of me.

[auboy]

(blush) First, I'd like to thank my wife, my parents, my 2nd grade teacher… ;-)

[Colonial Warrior]

I was thinking same IF they don't APPROVE him as Chief Justice. You just know that the Hildabeast would croak!!

But we need him on Supreme Court!

[AliVeritas]
