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.

These aren't questions... they are accusations. At least, that's how the swimmer is playing them.
Yup, that's what it's all about... sickening.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
There goes breakfast and no lunch.
I'm from Upstate NYS. I'd like to see Upstate secede and form a new state. NYC can have Chuckie and the carpet bagger on a platter.
That's the last time Teddy was sober.
Do you see how Kennedy asks the question, then doesn't let Robert's finish .. and then when he does try to speak, Kennedy's body language dismisses his answers. What a sack of crap! Man would I love to see him on the other side of the table! Blowhard!
Roberts is smarter than all of Kennedy's staffers put together. Kennedy is just a "reader", he cannot process the answers.
Ooops...I think Kennedy is going to be taken to the woodshed...here we go!
Roberts looks pissed that Kennedy is just reading crap and not letting him talk.
Shaking hs head.
The 10% was Teddy and his flask heading home to get to sleep.
Kennedy would shut up if they would turn off the cameras.
Just flipped to the Senate---to see what was going on---
KKK BYRD is reading from the BIBLE again....sigh...
omg he just used the little "quote" hand signals...hello teddy - its 2005.
Kick his ass John!!!
Slap down! Go Arlen!
Arlen is going to hit Teddy on the head with the gavel. LOL.
Roberts about to slap down Kennedy!!
Senator you have not accurately represent my position!! Gotcha.
Oh good grief! ooops....Kennedy slapped down again.
Roberts tell Kennedy he did not accurately describe his position.
Ted was slinging mud, lying and Roberts is having his say.
