Feinstein: "Here John." (tries to hand Roberts a new rope)

Roberts: "No thanks, Senator. You may need it more than I."

This is a great civics lesson and should have been required viewing in all schools.

This can't be shown in the schools...Roberts is the answer to a prayer...no prayer in school. hehe

Feinstein keeps referring to Roberts 'The Man.' Like, you let the real man come out, which she appreciates.

I think I figured out what she's trying to do here. She's insinuating that not answering or being overly forthcoming in an answer makes him a sissy. Like questioning his manhood or something.

This lady really has issues relative to sexism, and it is scary.

I wonder if Diane will ask Roberts what he thinks of the national security implications of a U.S. senator's spouse doing business with Chinese Communists.

Feinstein just got skewered on the 9 case study.
Roberts shows her as being lightweight.
She then either is not listening to Roberts response to the Gonzanga case or is just dumb.
This is silly. He is now talking to her like she is a first year law student - a slow one.

He just slammed her. Perfect answer. Said if congress would be specific in the laws they write.... he left her speechless.

It should be illegal for this woman to have "einstein" as part of most of her last name. Because she is no "F'ing" Einstein.

There is no coherant theme or logic for the questions from Leaky, Teddy, or DiFi. They seem to be simply consuming airtime hoping for a clip on the News Hour or a quote in the NY Times.
