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.

Oh boy, Durbin... the anti-Catholic catholic.

He's that, and also an anti-American American.

Looking at the membership list, Durbin is up now and I don't believe we heard from Coburn (who was impressive yesterday) and Brownback. Hopefully they're up next as Roberts earlier said he was willing to go until the end.

Durbin working on overturning capital punishment.

The "Republican" governor to which Durbin just referred, George Ryan was a criminal for one, for another, the govenor overtuned ALL death sentences, not just ones that had DNA evidence that proved them innocent.

But he's never called Bush Bushitler, to a DUmmie that makes him a lapdog. The color of the sky is really different over there.

I may be incorrect, but, for all his warts, Matthews was fairly decent on the Clinton Impeachment thing.
