[LSK]

Hes really going on about Roberts is not telling us anything.

[Coexist]

1. any good quotes for the cube rats?

[papau]

30. cute poem reflects what Bidden is saying

http://www.moresoftmoneyhardlaw.com/

Must the Court bless smut and other such vices?

I can’t say much but: stare decisis!


May a President jail any and all in a crisis?

I can’t say much but: stare decisis!


Will the Court defer or will it despise us?

I can’t say much but: stare decisis!


Is privacy protected in all shapes and sizes?

I can’t say much but: stare decisis!


Are your views like Bob Bork’s or more like Brandeis’?

I can’t say much but: stare decisis!


Will you ever say anything at all to surprise us?

I can’t say much but: stare decisis!


Do you still favor term limits—a time when you’ll go??

No.

[LSK]

2. "we are taking a big gamble on you"

You are not really telling us anything about what you think the law is.

Its streaming on CSPAN3. Also will repeat tonite on CSPAN2 I beleive.

[Coexist]

3. no speakers at work - so I have to rely on the kindness of DUers

[jane_pippin]

10. So does that imply that Biden is willing to make that bet?

Oh wait, nevermind. It's Biden. Of course that's what it means.

You know, I want to like him. He's entertaining and he seems like a smart enough guy. But I just can't do it after witnessing all of his big talk/bad action.

[Paulie]

17. Biden sucks

"We are taking a big gamble" means he's going to vote for him, the bastard.

He should be saying "We are NOT going to take a gamble on you!"

Either get a spine or retire!!!!

[DemonFighterLives]

19. I suspect he'll go for him too

and then boast about how tough he handled him.

[lateo]

4. Big deal.

Who wants to make a bet that Biden votes to confirm him?

[LSK]

7. i wouldnt doubt it

He will make a speech about why he shouldnt vote for him, but then do it anyways.

[lateo]

22. Bingo.

Fool me once...shame on...shame on...

[FreedomAngel82]

27. Of course

*Sigh* Don't forget wasn't it him who said he liked Gonzalez? I mean: hello!!

[peekaloo]

9. My thoughts exactly.

:-(

:puke:

[Individualist]

14. Actions do speak louder than words

Biden's "pitbull" questioning means nothing if he intends to vote to confirm.

[StellaBlue]

5. Yep

Joe is doing well.

Roberts has just said 'miscegenation' twice. And they are referring to English common law. This is something I have just learned about - never in my life have I heard that English common law had any bearing on our law, beyond how it affected the writing of the original constitution.

Is it just me or should English common law have no bearing on decisions?! It's not like English common law is our common heritage, even! Why should English common law hold any dominion over, say, African-Americans. WTF?!

[aquart]

15. You're joking, right?

[Sal Minella]

25. After Roberts SAYING earlier this morning that foreign law should

have no consideration in SCOTUS decisions.....

[newportdadde]

6. To bad Biden doesn't have any teeth.

D-I-N-O

[Demonaut]

18. heading should be "Biden Gumming Roberts"

biden has zero credibility

[DemonFighterLives]

20. That got me

:rofl:

I think we are on break now. My coverage on CNN is more damn commercials and goofy wolfy and big Candy commenting.

[LSK]

24. they are playing it on CNN?

Im streaming CSPAN3 right now..

[DemonFighterLives]

26. Intermittently

I don't get C3. Right now Spector is talking off the cuff. They cut in at the end of Kennedy who didn't seem pleased and marched off-something about Warren court. Spector thinks Roberts has answered more questions than most.
They spend more time with woofie and Jeff Greenfield and Candy, and Toobin round table.
Leahy now interview.

[bluestateguy]

8. Where was this fighting spirit on the bankruptcy bill?

Oh, it was there---to rally support FOR the bill.

He's a pompous, arrogant, plagiarizing jerk.

[CountAllVotes]

16. I agree

Biden = a political opportunist, nothing more, nothing less sadly.

:kick:

[Bumblebee]

11. yes, but he is not very effective and it looks like a put-on act

for his future presidential votes (not from me!) Using bluster against Roberts is not the smartest trick. R. is so smooth, intelligent and articulate (all three a great rarity for conservatives) that people like Biden end up looking bad by comparison. Kennedy was much more effective because he was persistent but relatively calm. Durbin was excellent yesterday too, imho, and so was Feingold. But Biden is acting like a caricature of himself.

[Southsideirish]

13. I've always thought his "righteous anger" routines seemed very phony.

[StellaBlue]

21. Agree wholeheartedly

I have been most impressed/proud of Kennedy. At least he's a real liberal. Plus he doesn't really have anything to lose. Hasn't in about 25 years.

[DemonFighterLives]

12. Biden said it is like a kabookie sp theater

He also said that the public has the right to know what any senate or congressman thinks or would do in any situation. But we have a co-equal branch that does not need to answer to the public. All we need to know is that you are a good guy and etc. Biden wanted him to answer as a father or family member whether the family or the courts have the decision on feeding tubes, comatose, etc. Roberts beat around the bush, because some potential case may come up.
:silly:
round and round

[radwriter0555]

23. With only 16 cases that's he's adjudicated, roberts has no experience to

account for really.

That alone should worry everyone. It's not what he's 'done' that's worrisome, it's his lack of a track record, his lack of experience and his lack of anything to merit such a prestigious LIFE TIME appointment.

[July]

29. Makes you wonder just why Bush nominated him for CJ, doesn't it?

The guy is what, 50? He's in there for a long time if confirmed.

Once again I'll say it: imagine if Clinton had tried to do this.

[Imagevision]

28. Biden's making a fool of himself which is an easy task these days

He spends too much time shopping for clothes and looking in the mirror.

Even Warren Beatty would make him look parked with intelligence.

[mvd]

31. Good, but it's easy to do this

It was harder to vote against the bankrupcy bill when he's from Delaware, and he failed that test. I still haven't forgiven him for that vote.

[omega minimo]

32. To his credit, Sen. Biden was not just goin thru the motions

Anybody phoning it in would not have the willingness and ability to address Squirmy Roberts as he did today.

In the face of the magnificent talents of Bush administration bullshit artists, how does ANYBODY reach into the slime and come out with a handful of ANYTHING? Biden did. He thought on his feet and called Roberts on his obsequious non-sense.

WHERE'S GEORGE GALLOWAY? America is being poisoned by the Newspeak doublethink sociopaths!

[Rainscents]

33. Biden is full of hot air. He'll say, "I Like You, Roberts, you're the

real deal!"
