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.

Does anybody here have a CLUE what Schumer's point is?

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.
Going there now.
Shep on Fox...I found it on PBS1 whatever that is.
Schummer has NEVER practiced law. He went straight from law school into politics.
Schumer's trying to emulate the tone of a principal lecturing a 5th grader. And yet Roberts is head and shoulders above him intellectually.
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.
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.
My computers too slow. Will you guys post highlights? PLEASE?
Are you serious ???
See post #2516.
I'm running my bath water...lol.
yep, that's where I am watching now. Channel 12 in
Denver for you CO people.
Schumer getting handed his own head on a platter.
Thank YOU, maggief.
I got to win...I need a new toaster.
