Nomination of John G. Roberts [LIVE Thread 9-13]~Day Two
Senate Judiciary ^ | 9-13-05 | Senate Judiciary Committee

Posted on 09/13/2005 5:01:31 AM PDT by OXENinFLA

Q&A with Roberts to Start
On Tuesday, the eighteen members of the Senate Judiciary Cmte. begin questioning Chief Justice nominee John Roberts. This will take all day, with the senators asking their questions, up to a half-hour for each member, in order of seniority, alternating by party.

The Schedule (media advisory)


Tentative Schedule for the Hearing: Schedule is subject to change

Tuesday, Sept. 13

9:30 am Chairman Specter begins 30 minute round of questioning (Round 1)

1:00 pm Break for lunch

2:00 pm Resume questioning

6:00 pm Break for dinner

7:00 pm Resume questioning

8:30 pm Round 1 questioning ends


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.

"So you think Roberts should say, 'Yes, I've studied Roe v. Wade extensively and find that it is repugnant to the Constitution. I shall see that it is overturned as soon as I am confirmed.' "

Man oh man, would I love to see that happen!!!

This is over..Chuckie is conceding...

Not too sure as he, like Biden and Kennedy, threatened to get back to "it" tomorrow. They will review their strategy tonight, and either let him slide or fire up tomorrow.

OMG Chuckie is going to be pissed to know he was cut off in mid stream as c-span broke away.

Let's hope Olbermann's show is replaced by reruns of Gilligan's Isle....rather see a cute little girl from Kansas than a moron with a skunk hairdo from New York city.
