Let these liberal senatorial bloodsuckers demean, insult and patronize Judge Roberts to the max. The majority of folks in this country are not watching the hearings like us news junkies, so the damage is mimimal.
However, one thing is not minimal. It's the effect of the attacks on Roberts himself. The attacks will be seared into his psyche.
Don't misunderstand. This is not to say that the attacks will affect him in any negative way.....he's a big boy and is expecting the onslaught.
It just seems to me that liberalism rearing its ugly fascist head in this hearing will not be forgotten by John Roberts. And while he will always be fair, no one can tell me that the vituperation of these monstrous senators won't be reinforcing conservatism in Chief Justice Roberts subconscious forever.
This is a good thing.

I am sure he is. I think Clarence Thomas was only half prepared, because no one had any idea how low they were willing to go.
I look forward to today's hearings myself. Word is that after Judge Roberts' measured remarks yesterday, dems on the committee said "this guy is good".
Let them bring it on as you say, Leni. John Roberts is more than up to the challenge. There is no intellectual match-up if you ask me. Roberts puts them all to shame.
Peace.
Ditto Leni and well said. I believe there will be fireworks but from the dems side only. They will become indignant and enraged and our next CJ will answer their questions in a most "humbling" and respectful way. But it will leave a mark and it will reinforce his conservatism.
The dems will continue to rear their ugly liberal heads and for those that are watching, will also remember their disrespect for a man of character.
Oh yeah, and we'll be watching....
