All my questions came from the movie AIRPLANE.
Two points. Roberts should refuse to answer any question that might, in any way, relate to any case he might hear in the future. Therefore, none of Schumer's questions. Two, Schumer's basic premise is wrong. Schumer said Roberts had to prove himself fit, not the senators proving he isn't. Wrong, wrong, wrong, Senator Schumer. It's the senates job to vote yes or no and there is nothing Robert has to do. Schumer's using the "have you quit beating your wife" questions to try trapping and opposing Roberts.
If he were capable of anything like that, he wouldn't be a senator
You are right, I should have highlighted the date.
Failing that, he would say that to confirm an individual right now would "overturn decades of judicial precedent", yada yada blah blah.
Whenever I hear a politician say that something is "settled law", that means either abortion or guns and it also means they are desperately hoping not to examine either issue in the light of day.

I know. And believe it or not I do hate to be that gross, but people need to know how low these bolsheviks will go. But is it really an attack on bo-bo values, or just a desperate cry for attention?
