HAHA!

[defconw]

Had Durbin's memo amounted to anything it would be all over the MSM, all Robert's did on that "memo", was a hand-written note in the margin, where he cricled something and wrote REPLY? That's all it was. It was NOTHING.

What Chuck is saying is that we need to know how you are going to rule on things that matter to us

BINGO!!

And now a word from our real Sponsors of Free Speech

The Men and Women who serve,
and have served, our country
are the ones who make sure that
the Politicans and Judges are free to do their job.

We would not have a US Supreme Court
without the protection of the Military.

Politicans and Judges are safe
because of the Military who protect them.

TEST : Call your Senator or Congressman's office
AFTER 5 PM, or on the weekend.
IF you speak to an actual person, ask who's in charge today?

Now look up the phone number
of your local military base.
Call that number 24/7
and ask the live voice you get
to speak with the person in charge.

Send a Thank You while you enjoy your Freedom also.

Schumer says:

You didn't answer questions that you felt would come before the court. ...We were interested in answers to questions on issues that would come before the court.

I don't get it.

Good for Spector - allowing Roberts to respond.
Feinstein now screws it up by asking "WHat kind of a judge you will be?"

Jeeze, this is silly. No incisiveness. Just gut objections to someone who is likely to be more conservative than they would like.

Now Roberts is telling them - 50 recent opinions should be enough. Absolutely.

Schumer wants ideologs like Ginsberg on the court.

What the hell -- are we to replace Rehnquist with a liberal?

[hoosiermama]

he RESPECTS" the law.....which is more than can be said for others in the room....who think they are above the law.....

[StarFan]

Well his answer is sums is up quite nicely

Yikes, "his answer sums it up quite nicely". Blame my typos on Schumer who never fails to frazzle my nerves.

[gopwinsin04]

lmao! Schumer is a Butt Monkey...

[Freemyland]

"Schummer brings up "illegal amigos" again."

You have to look on the bright side. At least Neil Kinnock never used the phrase "illegal amigos", or Biden would be using it now.

[ChadGore]

[Dog]

LOL!

[auboy]

Exactly!

Schumer's whole speech was designed to paint Roberts as a phantom nominee, even after Roberts has responded to all their half-truths, innuendos, and phantom questions.

Roberts has 50 decisions their staffs can pick through. The Dems are FOS.

[confederacy of dunces]

Great picture.

[onyx]

Agreed. I can handle the speechifying, pontificating and political grandstanding, but NOT their nasty, rude behavior.

[ChadGore]

[syriacus]

Cornyn mentioning "leaked" Senate memos.

Points out that Senators assumed they should get to have candid, confidential communication with their staffers.

Executive branch should have the same right to candid, confidential communication.

Roberts talks about importance of confidentiality between advocates and their clients.

[SoFloFreeper]

Here comes Durbin the Turban!

[gopwinsin04]

Here comes Sen. Turbin!

[Gritty]

Roberts is simply great in his response on attorney/client privlege!
