Sen Biden please stop with the Baseball analogies,

[win_in_06]

and Roberts is no Ken Griffey, Jr. Sheesh!

2. Biden is an embarrassment

He should take Lieberman and Zell Miller with him and officially cross over to the dark side. They've been virtual Republicans for way too long!

[Frances]

6. Great idea

Sarcasm.

Yeah, the way to save our country is to give more power to the enemy.

Sometimes I think the country deserves Bush when I see how Bush's supposed enemies propose to fight him by attacking anyone who does not fit their preconceived notions of perfection.

22. Don't know what ball game your watching but I do know what

uniform you're wearing.

3. I liked where he finally arrived with it,

that a SCOTUS isn't like an umpire. The strike zone isn't defined for them.

They must infer from the constitution, Biden wants to know how Roberts "infers."

[Bumblebee]

4. my sentiments exactly -- I know he wants to sound "folksy"

but it's stupid and juvenile.

[genius]

5. I think he's making Roberts look like a slime.

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

9. He is, I agree!

:applause:

[MaineDem]

7. Remember he's responding to Roberts' baseball analogy

I dislike sports analogies and metaphors but I can't fault Biden on this one.

[welshTerrier2]

13. exactly right ...

Roberts referred to the role of the justices as "baseball umpires" ... Biden's point that justices need to "infer" the meaning of the Constitution and that it is not always spelled out in black and white was dead on the money ...

there's plenty to criticize Biden for but the point he made here was a good one ... he didn't introduce the analogy; Roberts did ...

[win_in_06]

15. I admit he has gotten better as he's continued.

I was afraid that with the Ken Griffey, Jr comment he was about to coronate.

[quaoar]

8. Let's have some MORE baseball analogies

Hey, Biden, how about throwing a few brushback pitches, up and in and way out of the strike zone. Or maybe a fastball behind his head that thwacks against the backstop.

[MaineDem]

11. Did you hear Biden? (nt)

[quaoar]

19. I heard his explanation of the strike zone

[0007]

10. Biden is doing one hell of a job, don't try to be little him please!

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

18. Absolutely! He's doing outstandingly!!

[Bryan]

12. Biden was warming up

He's needling Roberts now on the "Ginsburg rule" and the Violence Against Women Act.

[genius]

14. Roberts feels the federal gov't shouldn't legislate against violence

against women. NOTICE THIS EVERYONE. DO YOU AGREE WITH ROBERTS?

[genius]

16. Roberts supports the right of women to be CITIZENS

What a guy!

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

17. But he is very interested in gender equality, because he had

sisters, has a wife, and a daughter.

Boy that qualifies him, NOT.

:puke:

[genius]

23. Maybe we ought to question them on how much violence he exercises

against them

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

25. Yes, how about a question like

Judge Roberts, "Do you still beat your wife, sisters, daughter and how often and how severely?"

[Humor_In_Cuneiform]

20. At least one of the right wing nut pundits at Townhall.com,

said that making special provision to protect women against violence was "institutionalizing" women as victims.

It is like, hello? Women are victims on a huge scale.

This was a woman, believe it or not.

Probably thinks a real man beats his wife, girlfriend.

[win_in_06]

21. Nice fireworks between Biden & Spector

[AJH032]

24. Biden did a great job

Okay, I'll let the judge continue not to answer the question.

That was great.
