Utah's Congressional Delegation - May 1 2003 Sen. Orrin Hatch accused fellow senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) of asking inappropriate questions at a hearing to confirm John Roberts to the Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. These are dumbass questions, said Hatch. Schumer asked if Sen. Hatch wished to revise and extend his remarks (a euphemism for alter your remarks in the transcript) Hatch replied No, I am going to keep it exactly the way it is. I mean, I hate to say it. I mean, I feel badly saying it between you and me. But I do know dumbass questions when I see dumbass questions. [Roll Call] $$ Sen. Robert Bennett expressed support for Pres. Bush's tax cut proposals: Pass the president's exactly as he proposed it, as high a dollar figure as we can possibly get through. [Fox News] 9:44:26 AM
