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.

We needed that one.
Biden go home and cry not on TV. I can't stand that lump.
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 have a hit list for you. :-)
A man with dolls hair shouldn't be taken seriously. IMO
Yeah, he'll "get back to it later" LOL
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!
Slapdown #4 for the plagarist!
I am enraged.
Arlen's ST*Us (and let him answer):
Bag O'Gas 7 DumJoe 4
Did Biden just call Roberts "man"? What a twit.
Well he is The Great Joe Biden
/ sarcasm >
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.
Discriminegates
Really really good OUCHY LOL
More fake smiles . . . . deplorable.
Thank you for saying that.
What is horn book law?
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!
Just wait, they won't dissappoint, it's all to satisfy Ralph Neas and Nan Aron. The DUmmies Senators work for them.
