Feingold talking about HIV. Spector asleep when he wants something entered into record!

Find-Gold now moving on to the death penalty.

[SoFloFreeper]

I understand they will meet with Reid later today to plan a strategy injest hemlock.

[WoodstockCat]

what was the golf joke?

[AliVeritas]

How come they are able to insert for the record media stories which we all agree sometimes don't state facts truthfully, instead of real statistics by Doctors, the CDC or others?


Reagan must be turning in his grave.

I have to say this. I can't watch these hearings. I've NEVER been able to watch congressional hearings. I couldn't watch watergate, or Iran-contra. I thought I wasn't sufficiently interested, or maybe I didn't understand politics. Now I realize that these people bloviate so much that you have to wait 15 or more minutes for them to even so much as mention the topic at hand.

Could it be that they do this intentionally so as to make their proceedings completely inscrutable to any but the most arcane politico-junkies? Naaaah, they just think somebody cares.

Also -- when I was younger, if I heard some babe was dating a politician? She went way down in my estimation. Like Linda Rondstadt dating moonbeam. Couldn't respect her after that. Why would anyone date a politician except another pol or shall we say a "political gardening tool?"

Roberts to Congress: "You are doing your job! Don't ask the Court to do it for you."

[ChadGore]

Feingold reading his staffs research. boring.

[mewzilla]

Let's hear it for our very own House of Lords.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Find-Gold now moving on to the death penalty.

Only after detouring back to the AIDS casual contact memo from the 80's. I don't understand what the heck that has to do with anything.

[gopwinsin04]

Sen. Find-Gold now moaning about why Roberts didn't write any memos on the dealth penalty since the early '80s.

[ken5050]

Everyone notice..not ONE question fromm the Dems about the Federalist Society?

[defconw]

Feingold actually thinks that he is going to explain Habeas Corpus to Judge Roberts. ROFLOL, here comes the smack down! Congress knocked it out! LOL

[ChadGore]

"A least I thought the memo was personal"

[SoFloFreeper]

America reacts to the Democrats' extra round of interrogation:

[1Old Pro]

Hatch and some Republicans have given back some of their questioning time back to the chair this morning to speed the hearing along.

Having the Dems go one after another really demostrates and makes more visible their desperation.

[auboy]

Need coffee:

Roberts to Congress: "You are NOT doing your job! Don't ask the Court to do it for you."

[AliVeritas]

Odd huh?

[onyx]

This is inane.
