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.

LOL! Well, they'd better still be on hand, even though their turns are over for today.

I think the entire cable op could ultimately go.

Yup. It's been rumored for quite some time. Unfortunately Crissy will continue to rear his ugly head on the Today Show and Imus with all his free time.

More good news: a LA legislator said the other night that steps were already being taken behind the scenes for Blanco's resignation.


we can hope, but I'll bet the Dims will rally around her like they did with Clinton. Politics over common sense always for the Dims!

LOL -- Sessions wowed me. Our guys are much the better men. That is easily apparent to all but the most partisan of viewers.

I agree, but the situation would have still been a mess.

Less ego, and better communication with DC would have helped...

BTW Who is the Lt. Gov there?
