Live blogging John Roberts Senate hearings

I started to live blog the senate hearings on the nomination of John Roberts to be Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. However, I couldn't get through listening to Leahy bloviate without reaching for the remote. If I couldn't put up with Leahy then there is no way I could handle listening to Ted Kennedy lie and smear the nominee. If you're really interested watch it yourself. He'll get out of committee with a favorable recommendation and be confirmed with about 70 votes. The hearings are just a chance for the senators to play to their various constituencies.
