The latest on the life and time of Richard Durbin...From AP:
``I urged Judge Roberts, as far as he can legally and within the canon of ethics, to be forthcoming and honest with us at the committee hearings,'' Durbin, the Senate's minority whip and No. 2 ranking Democrat, told reporters after a meeting in which he and Roberts talked about topics ranging from desegregation to heroes.
Two years ago, Durbin was one of three committee Democrats to vote against Roberts' being confirmed as a federal appellate court judge, and Durbin has since repeatedly blamed his lack of support for the former conservative Washington, D.C., attorney on his evasiveness on such matters as abortion rights.
My opinion: He'll vote "no."
