There are several things I noticed that are so obvious it is freightening. The combatative Senators who attempted to engage Judge Roberts into making statements that would help defeat his nomination made themselves look like angry children babbling incoherently. It is a sorry day we Americans keep electing these fools but alas 2006 is near.

Sen. Arlen Specter either wants to be out of his chair or he wanted to cut off the Democrats on their Roe argument. I’m not sure which but I tend to think he doesn’t want his chair.

The intellectual disparity between Judge Roberts and the Senators was scary. We once again need to visit the discussion of how best to attract the “best and brightest” into the political arena. Judge Roberts clearly shows what a huge difference there is between our elected officials and what we really should be looking for. Roberts is brilliant and the Senators are, well you get the drift if you watch the hearings.

As soon as Roberts is confirmed, which he will be, the Janice Rogers Brown show will be even more entertaining.

Anthony, taking any bets on this one? Woodford and Marlboro’s are still the stakes.

“What the American people have seen is this incredible disparity in which those people who had cars and money got out and those people who were impoverished died,” Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) said in an interview.”

Kennedy is now linking Hurricane Katrina with the US Constitutional process. He has always wanted judges that interpret the Constitution instead of honoring it. And yeah, that creates a disparity that will never resolve his liberal philosophies.

I plan on posting the entire Roberts-Kennedy exchange as soon as it’s available.

This is interesting (3rd paragraph, last sentence):

Apparently Sen. Kennedy is against narrow interpretation of the law. So he wants Supreme Court justices to enforce opinion? No wonder he is against conservative judges.
