Exclusive Drudge sources in the U.S. Senate's Hart Building heard Democrat Sen. Joe Biden say to Judge John G. Roberts in a private conversation on the hearing room floor: 'You're the best I've ever seen before the committee'...Right now they are just going through the motions. I can't realistically see Judge Roberts not being confirmed.
I really liked the story told that Biden was lamenting whenever Roberts spoke that he was using Biden's time, then when Roberts didn't speak, Biden railed on him for not answering the question. Whereupon Roberts said something to the effect that he'd understood from Biden that Biden did not want to hear his answer.
Everyone laughed except Biden.
