From The Hill:

By targeting Roberts on issues of importance to blacks and women, the interest groups will make it difficult for Democrats not to pose a strong challenge to Roberts during the Senate confirmation process.

Also in The Hill, Democratic pollster believes “Roberts can be beaten.”

As I mentioned last night on Hugh Hewitt, the strategy makes sense from the Left’s vantage point: Throw, throw, throw and something will stick. They don’t have much else to do here, they don’t have much concrete to throw, so there are no guarantees. But his name will be muddied, associated with random rhetorical acts of violence–like the NARAL ad–however unfairly. The truth will be heard to varying degrees in some quarters, but people will wonder. Schumer and co. will say some outlandish things during the hearings…but I suspect Roberts will impress and we’ll all be able to moveon. With a fresh infusion of good ole’ American Constitution kinda guy on the Court. Or so is the hope.
