It's already clear now after the first day of grilling, that Kennedy and Biden are the attack dogs. Schumer may in fact already have decided to vote FOR Roberts.

Won't really believe it till the second round finishes.

BUT, I was certainly surprised, shocked even, by Schumer's rather mild performance.

Schumer understands TV and what people watching will think. Schumer knows he is not smart enough to take on Roberts and win. Schumer knows if he plays attack dog on national TV with lots of people watching, he will just damage his own reputation.

Schumer knows that every time the camera goes on Roberts the viewers think nice and very brilliant man. Schumer knows that everytime the camera goes on Kennedy or Bidden the viewers think obnxious a$$es.

Schumer has national ambitions. Biden does too. But Biden is very dumb and Schumer is not that dumb. Schumer knows that if he goes after Roberts, Roberts will tattoo the phrase "Obnoxious A$$" on Schumers forehead as well.

Schumer does not want to give Roberts a chance to do to him what Roberts is doing to Kennedy and Bidden.

It is the first rule of politics..

Never get in a fight with someone who can kick your rump with out raising a sweat.
