And now Graham's ranting about liberal judicial activism. Ok, that rant's over. Now he's asking what it's like to go through the confirmation process, and how he FEELS about the mean old Democrats. And how his FAMILY feels. Good grief, Graham, if you can't think of anything intelligent to say, be quiet!

By throwing out conservative positions (flag-burning, etc.) and asking JR to comment on them, he's showing that he will not give positions either way.

Agreed. But why? Surely he realizes the need to "appear" to keep politics out of this. Geeeeez. I am disgusted.

What the hell is Lindsey getting at?

He's ever so subtly giving it back to the dems for going after Reagan and asking questions they knew he couldn't/wouldn't answer. He's personalizing Roberts for the viewing audience, I believe. Geez hope I'm not misreading him.

Bingo. He won't comment on either side of the political spectrum.

Not a clue what he's trying to do. I hope Judge Roberts just gives short answers and doesn't go there.

I think he gets a quick nod because he has already made mincemeat out of the REALLY Dim senators w/o ever raising his voice or lifting a hand. Well, okay, they pretty much did it to themselves but he was great at showing how ignorant they are.

For the next supreme Bush should nominate a black woman. After all the racist stuff this would mute them a little, nothing would ever make them shut up.

Precisely. He is showing that it is the role of politicians to form policy. It is the role of judges to decide cases. Lawyers represent clients. LG is showing how stupid it is to politicize the judicial process.

Graham is just mocking the Dems style.

No worries.

That tool Linsey is gonna say..this is a very important decision and hes putting his trust in Roberts to always act in the countries best interests...blah, blah, blah. I guess anyone can really be a senator if they decide they want to when they are young.
