From what I have heard, yes, Roberts is noticeably better than most when he appeared before the SC. And I believe he has argued before them more than anyone else. That's the reason he has the support of dem lawyers who know him. I also heard Linsey Graham say last night that he believed that Roberts was SO good before the committee, that he will get most votes, even from the dems. That they could not NOT vote for him. I love it!
Any videos to the day 4 hearings besides the realplayer crap on cspan?
Sorry, I don't know. Hopefully others can jump in and answer this for you.
I can't help you with the video, but here is the Day 4 transcript:

Here's the Robert's thread...Isn't he too evasive to be on the Supreme Court?
I dunno - I can't make up my mind on this guy.
That's the problem, isn't it? Who wants someone making decisions like that who is so enigmatic? He should have a more established dignity or something. At first I was impressed with his charisma, but that soon wanes.
I hate to admit it, but you are right. ;)
I think you can get all the news anyone needs from the Inet. Watching news on TV can be so redundant. It is the same thing over and over again. And so much sensationalism.
Do you think the Dems have much control at all in these SC confirmations? There are 2 SC justices to confirm this year! The Supreme Court justice is such an important postion that controls such public policy as abortion and gun control in this country. I think we should all be aware and very concerned with what is going on.
Who is Bork BTW?
"Bork's texts on law typically are based on the Framers' original understanding of the United States Constitution, and in his texts he argues that constitutional text should be interpreted based on such understandings. He wrote of the result of what he considered loose interpretations of the Constitution: "We are increasingly governed not by law or elected representatives but by an unelected, unrepresentative, unaccountable committee of lawyers applying no will but their own." Reiterating that it is the Court's task to adjudicate and not to "legislate from the bench," he has advocated that judges exercise restraint when authoring opinions and dissents. Bork's views have influenced the legal opinions of conservative judges such as Associate Justice Antonin Scalia and former Chief Justice William Rehnquist of the U.S. Supreme Court."
"Within an hour of Bork's nomination to the Court, Kennedy (D-MA) took to the Senate floor with a strong condemnation of it. "Robert Bork's America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens' doors in midnight raids, children could not be taught about evolution," said Kennedy. Kennedy's speech fueled widespread public skepticism of Bork's nomination. Others, including Bork himself, found the speech an egregious misrepresentation of his views."
This is really interesting. Is he still a viable candidate? Or who else might be considered another candidate?
The Kosovo MTV.. way to go!
;)
Know this is late. Spelling was not my best as you can see. I find that in my young years of seventy. I see what I thought I spelled but see the mistake a while later (goes for what I want to say to). That said I correct the spelling to "parrot". I thank you for the polite way you pointed out my mistake.
God Bless ALL, Protect the USA and All our Military, Keep All out of harms way. Welcome the fallen with Open Arms. Rewarding them with the HONOR they EARNED
