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.

Can you imagine being the wife of this man and getting into an argument?
You might have to bean him. Roberts that is. He would run circles around you.
This is making me laugh.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
Bingo!
Much as I hate to admit it, her only recourse might be to cry. :-)
That is quite true. Roberts is schooling these jokers.
Roberts was arguing for OTHER remedies...but Leahy continues to insist Roberts didn't care the girl was molested.
Leaky gets Ken Starr's name mentioned....
Roberts says "Congress didn't address this issue, the Supreme Court ruled, and it is a decision that needs to be considered."
sw
Yep, so far leahy has mentioned Iran Contra and now Ken Star.
He is looking for things to give people a bad taste in their mouth about Roberts.
Now implying Roberts is in favor of mistreatment of children.
Orin Hatch is up!
Leaky ducked out of that one.
HATCH up...
Thank God. Leahy is done and Orrin Hatch is up.
Leahy he has no clue what Roberts is telling him, he has not been in a courtroom in probably 30 years.
Thanks to the lord! Hatch is up...
Why didn't the teenager just yell, "NO" and charge the teacher w/RAPE, not the generalization of 'harassment', in a court of law?
Sorry to offend.
