I can't take it any more
These Senate hearings are just excruciatingly boring. The one bright spot is that the senators have, for the most part, managed to stay under their allotted time for opening statements.
The exception was Dianne Feinstein, who was in the middle of some boring anecdote about copper shoes in Budapest when the clock ran out. She professed shock, and begged for enough extra time to finish her shoe story.
Memo to Arlen Specter: The next that happens, the correct answer is this: "No. No one cares about your story anyway. You get the same amount of time as everyone else. It's up to you how you use it. Next." What the hell does he think that hammer's for? Roberts, of course, still hasn't spoken.
Screw it, I'm going to the gym....

The blowhrads seem to forget that the only opinions we want to hear are those of John Roberts, not a bunch of windbags who live for this moment to appear sagacious while failing miserably at it.

I think the most hilarious idea ever put forward was espoused by one of the members of the senate judiciary committee; that they, a pack of senators, with their sharp, incisive line of questioning, were going to somehow manage to intellectually muscle one of our nation's top legal minds into a corner and get all the information that they want out of him.
I don't think that there's anyone in the senate, or in congress at large, who could intellectually outmuscle a paperweight, much less John Roberts.
