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 .. Roberts says that he was just about to finish answering the question, but you Senator didn't want to hear it

Arlen slaps Biden again to let Roberts answer the question

Biden whines about his time is running out .. but yet Biden keeps on talking

I'm now listening to Rush instead of Biden....works well ;

I had to mute biden and turn on Klove. It is much more uplifting than this sorry jerk who is trying to run the show. I am going to also spend time praying for our country and President not to mention John Robert's.

God be with our country! Make eyes open!

Keeps complaining that he doesn't have any time.

Keeps asking questions, doesn't let Roberts answer, says that he doesn't need to hear all of Roberts' answer, says that he already understands Roberts' answer.

Basically, he DOESN'T CARE what the answer is. He, in his big brain, has already came to the correct conclusions.

HE IS SO CONDESCENDING! I would HATE to be on his staff.

I see the "Roberts is Souter" crowd has arrived to muck up the thread.

Thank you for saying that.

It would be nice if these arrogant senators who haven't practiced law in years could accurately state the law. Poor Judge Roberts is having to school him in con law and Biden thinks he knows more than Roberts...what a joke!

But I don't think anyone can be as crass as Biden is being right now.

Just wait, they won't dissappoint, it's all to satisfy Ralph Neas and Nan Aron. The DUmmies Senators work for them.
