This morning, the Judiciary Committee will complete its questionning of Judge Roberts. We expect questionning from a few more Democrats but no Republicans. After that's completed, the committee will hold a brief, routine executive session to discuss the FBI's background check. And then, after lunch, we get the outside witnesses. The list is below the fold. The afternoon session should be full of fireworks.
