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.

Do you get c-span 3? We were cut off and all cable outlets resumed regular programming.

Impossible to keep count...but what I am loving here is listening to Chuckie stumble..trip..stutter...uhmmm..errr...uhhmmm...

He doesn't even know what he stands for...except the power of the Congress to meddle in everything local.

[BigEdLB]

He a ramblin' down the road.
Where is he going?

[Peach]

Going there now.

[Jrabbit]

Shep on Fox...I found it on PBS1 whatever that is.

[Carolinamom]

Schummer has NEVER practiced law. He went straight from law school into politics.

[marsh_of_mists]

Schumer's trying to emulate the tone of a principal lecturing a 5th grader. And yet Roberts is head and shoulders above him intellectually.

[Dont_Tread_On_Me_888]

Shame on the republicans for leaving him [Arlen Sphincter] in this key position.

We must remember.............Arlen Sphincter is in the US Senate today because President George Bush and Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) campaigned for him; had Bush and Santorum even been neutral, then PA would have had itself a true conservative Senator in Pat Toomey.

Remind yourself of this fact whenever Arlen Sphncter makes you gag; you can thank President Bush and Rick Santorum for 6 more years of this Marxist POS.

[AliVeritas]

WTH is he talking about? He won't let him talk, he only wants to know how he feels. But first, he wants to cut him off and disrepect him.

Go head John, make him look like the rube he is, before he cuts you off.

[Bush gal in LA]

[Mo1]
