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.

Where I live, the people think that Roe V Wade is a decision to be made on how to cross the Susquehanna River. LOL!
To: Howlin
Roberts just accurately pegged what Di was reading as she hesitates briefly before confirming his assessment to be correct. I think that took her briefly off guard. No notes, and no previews of her materials and he pegged it.

Well if their lives would be in danger, they shouldn't be there... much less sleeping with them. Do they think women are idiots and have no self-control?
Roberts shouldn't even breathe on these.

I feel sorry for that deaf, one legged, indian, Katrina Survivor, woman that Bush nominates next
I thought only deaf, one legged, black hispanic Katrina Survivor women were to be considered. I didn't get the memo on the Indian switchero.
That Rove is brilliant.

The second round is limited to 20 min. per idiot. The questioning will go on as long as one senator has another question.

Then again, maybe the citizens of MA and DE are brain dead.Or 50.5% of their voters are brain dead.

Yeah. When she says that she's really saying, "I can't trick this guy and I feel stupid right now."
