And I haven\u2019t had a whole lot of time to watch this, but I have had the top-of-the-hour break here, checked in with the confirmation hearings of Judge John Roberts, opening statements by all the senators are still underway. The Democrats, every one of them that I have seen have sought to portray these hearings as the one democratic moment in the life of a judge, the one democratic moment.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-388603\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2005\/09\/the_one_democratic_moment__to_destroy_john_roberts___09_12_05_.Par_.0002.ImageFile.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"271\">In fact, Leahy has said, &#8220;It\u2019s the one moment in time that we, the people have to find out what kind of a scumbag you are.&#8221; He didn\u2019t say scumbag (story). I\u2019m reading his mind. But nevertheless, they\u2019re trying to envelope and embrace the American people by letting the American people know, &#8220;We\u2019re doing this for you, we\u2019re going to destroy this guy or try to, for you.&#8221; It\u2019s the one democratic moment in the life of a judge. How many times has this guy been before this committee? Roberts has appeared before this committee at least in one other, two other confirmation hearings, or is it one? It\u2019s two, isn\u2019t it? He\u2019s been up there I know for at least one confirmation hearing. It was one.<\/p>\n<p>And he got unanimous approval coming out of the committee the last time. So, anyway, not much happening other than the opening posturing, as I said, all the networks that I\u2019m watching. We don\u2019t have C-SPAN3 here. They\u2019re going gavel to gavel. We\u2019re watching back and forth on the three cable news networks, and they\u2019re all covering this as though its election night, and I\u2019m just waiting for the first network to make the call, to put their projection up there on screen, predicting that Roberts wins or loses confirmation, because it\u2019s being covered in just that way.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>Judge John Roberts still doing a fabulous job. It\u2019s been an hour and a half so far, still doing a fabulous job, hasn\u2019t said a word but looks more concerned and interested than any nominee I can recall in my life, folks, as he listens to these blowhards tell him, you know, what he\u2019s got to do and what they think. I\u2019m a little down on Congress. I really am. Pass-buck artists extraordinaire, take responsibility for nothing, act as grand inquisitors, get the power and the right to go destroy other people\u2019s lives. I\u2019m just down on Congress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Folks, I have detected a theme.
