Schumer has had it....

[RSchewe]

Tune in to the hearings.

He is frustrated with the lack of views of Roberts. The "Roe v. Wade should be overturned" statement has sparked it.

2. Schumer rocks!

Biden was giving him crap too, but Schumer will actually vote how he feels.

"You are being less forthcoming than anyone who has ever come before this committee"

[T Wolf]

7. any Democrat that votes for Roberts should be run out of the party.

We cannot continue to allow those who supposedly speak for us to slide by because they have a "D" next to their name.

[faithnotgreed]

18. i was just thinking the same thing - never could i vote for anyone

who supports this guy
they shouldnt even call themselves a democrat if they do

after all this maladminstration has done and continues to do i trust not an iota of what they push

and if anyone votes to confirm roberts then there is no looking back

[Stephanie]

3. Excuse me? Who said Roe v. Wade shd be overturned?

[justiceischeap]

4. Kick to that question n/t

[RSchewe]

5. Roberts in a writing in his past. n/t

[RSchewe]

8. Schumer is rockin' n/t

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

6. He is doing great! Paraphrasing to Roberts, why can you comment on how you

feel about former cases before the court all over the place, except for here in this room.

[LSK]

9. this process is getting more absurd the farther we move

Its as if i ask you what movies you like and you say I like movies that are good.

Its like asking do you like Casablanca, you answer a lot of people like Casablanca (laughter)

10. Chuck Is My Sorry Ass Senator. He Talks A Good Game. Then Votes With Them

Before people start showering the guy with praise, wait and see how he votes.

During the Condi confirmation he made a big speech saying that those that voted against the nomination "were doing a service to the nation".

Then after all of the liberals in America decided he was doing the right thing and started the cheering, he turned around and voted FOR HER!

I can only assume that was a disservice to the nation.

Be smart, hold your hurrahs for actual walking the walk not just talking the talk!

Do not let him play you AGAIN. He always does!

[LSK]

13. did a quick check, he voted against Bankruptcy bill and CAFTA

[DistressedAmerican]

14. And He Voted For IWR, Patriot Act, Rice, Gonzalez...

Those were easy no votes. The two you mention were basically party line votes. They took no political courage at all. This one will, as did the four I list above.

[RSchewe]

20. Name me one Dem that has done a crap job many times and I can

name you 50.

[jsamuel]

19. Thanks DA, good to know when someone is blowing smoke up my ass

[Stephanie]

21. I worked my ass off for Schumer because I hated D'Amato so much

He's been a bit of a disappointment.

[DistressedAmerican]

24. To Be Fair, If Given The Choice Again Between Them, I'd Still Go Chuck.

Alphonse SUCKED hugely!

Chuck only sucks a great deal...


:toast:

11. It reminds

of Rehnquist not being able to remember if he asked minorities if they could read in Arizona(intimidate minorities voting). I always thought that conservatives were proud of their views but when asked to elaborate they grow awful evasive

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

12. "It's as if I'm ask you if you like movies, and which movies, and you

say to me I like movies with good acting, directing, and I ask if you like Casablanca and you say lots of people love Casablanca".

Robert just answered that he likes Dr. Zhivago and North By Northwest. Interesting on Zhivago

[info being]

15. A real opposition party would say:

"Sorry, if you can't tell me where you stand then we can't approve you."

[LSK]

16. lets not roast our party yet

They havnt even voted yet and we are already roasting them!

[MrBenchley]

17. None are pure enough to stand with some folks...

[gulfcoastliberal]

25. Yeah, voting to confirm someone even more right-wing and fascist than

Rehnquist as the Supreme Justice of the US is purely righteous? Any dem that votes this scum in is ok with you Mr B? I don't get that. What do you consider going too far?

[DistressedAmerican]

22. You Are Praising Him Before The Vote. But, His Track Record Sucks.

If you can proclaim that he rocks before the vote, I can certainly roast him with his own record before he votes for the guy.

Again, I'll point you the Iraq War resolution, The USA Patriot Act, The Gonzalez confirmation and the Rice confirmation.

If you were not so quick to praise, I would not feel the need to set the record straight on this guy's behavior patterns. He has a track record of giving blistering speeches and voting for what he acted like he opposed.

It is right there in the guy's voting record.

He is my senator and I can tell you he DOES NOT ROCK! He plays a damn good game because people see the sound bites and ignore the vote counts.

I will never vote for him again. He sold me out time in and time out since he was elected as my representative.

[LSK]

23. fair enough n/t

[Disturbed]

26. It's all smoke up the ass.

John Roberts will be confirmed. The majority of Dems will vote yea. The excuse? They are saving their powder for the next nominee.
