5. I agree. DEMs should ask specific, pointed, Rove releated questions.
I would love to see that- lets fuck with THEM for once.

8. Good idea. Here is the beauty- It would be relevant questioning....
...and any Repub or media shill who cries foul only brings more attention to the issue or Robert's hair splitting answers.

We should start threads this week reminding folks to contact DEMs and pitch this. I think this is actually a really excellent idea- and a great way to make this back-fire on Bush.

7. Yes, the most important question Roberts should be asked
How do you feel about outing undercover CIA agents?

17. That's the important one,
isn't it?

Here's a pretty good summary of where "bob roberts"(I mean john)stands on other issues..by http://www.billmon.org

<<snip>>

"Bob Roberts
I know: his name is John, not Bob. But I'm talking about the 1992 Tim Robbins movie -- the one about the smooth-talking hedge fund trader turned Senate candidate, who uses his Waspy good looks and personal charm to cloak an ultra-conservative political agenda.

And now we have John Roberts -- a smooth-talking corporate lawyer turned appeals court judge, whose Waspy good looks and blue-chip credentials may conceal an ultraconservative legal agenda. The perfect Stealth nominee, in other words.

<<snip>>


On the other hand, that Roberts is a hardline conservative seems beyond reasonable doubt. This Legal Times piece by Tony Mauro gives the rundown. If the wing nuts were afraid of "another Souter," they probably don't have anything to worry about.

But if the Party of God was hoping for an appointee who is obviously one of their own -- a Janice Rogers Brown or an Allen Keyes is a black robe -- they didn't get that, either. Professionally and culturally, Roberts is very much a Bush I throwback: a product of Harvard, government service and K Street (the pre-DeLay K Street). He clerked for Rehnquist, not Scalia or Thomas. It's a lot easier to imagine Roberts eating a working lunch in a corporate boardroom than breaking bread at a prayer breakfast with a bunch of Christian Dominionists.

18. Two questions:
Are the lobbying jobs and the wife's activism "fair game"?

What Would Rove Do?

Just asking.

19. Boxer
I bet we could get Boxer to ask this... especially if we could get the activist's corps to do a letter writing to her.

24. Call all the Dems on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Edited on Wed Jul-20-05 07:25 PM by ClassWarrior
And if you're a constituent, call 'em ONCE AN HOUR.

Tell 'em to ASK THE QUESTION.

At the very least, make sure they know THE QUESTION exists.

And Never Give Up.
