From today's How Appealing weblog:
All in good humor: Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Orrin G. Hatch (R-UT) just stated during today's hearing on the nomination of John G. Roberts, Jr. to serve on the D.C. Circuit that sometimes Senator Charles E. Schumer (D-NY) asks "dumb ass questions" of judicial nominees at such hearings. By the way, the portion of the hearing focusing on the Roberts nomination has just concluded.
