Day Two of Roberts Q&A
On Wednesday, the members of the Senate Judiciary Cmte. finish their first round of questions, beginning with Sen. Sam Brownback (R-KS). A second round for Chief Justice nominee John Roberts will follow, with each senator getting twenty minutes as opposed to the thirty minutes in the first round.

Sen. Biden is either wearing suspenders or a chin strap.
You can get it on your computer at www.cspan.com...I usual just listen and freep cause I'm on dial up.
He seemed really upset that some judges get to the supreme court and act like they are better than the senators, even when they promise not to.
I get annoyed when the senators stop asking questions to figure out Robert's views, and go into lecture mode trying to convince him to be different.
If I heard a nominee change his position because of a 2-minute speech from a senator, I would never vote for him.
Now Specter is asking how he will get more people to vote yes on decisions, so the decisions don't end up 5-4.
I bet Specter would never support the compromise that would have made the Casey decision 7-2 instead of 5-4. If there was such a compromise to begin with.
I'm watching on PBS-U on Dish Network. I found it by accident. Channel 9402 in Dallas.
Specter rambling, going round in circles. He bails, turns to Leahy for help.
You can watch the hearings on Court TV or your local PBS TV station.
Senator Depends has the floor!
Leak Leahy up!
Where are you seeing Biden?
Too bad it didn't take the air from the demonic trinity (Kennedy, Biden, Durbin).
Thank you all for the links - I will use them if necessary. Looks like Fox News is picking up the Roberts hearings again... there's Brit Hume and Chris Wallace.
Thanks for the ping
Leaky asks a question/statement saying that the White House is 'spreading disinformation.'
