Flashback: Roberts Hearing in 2003
Here is Senator Hatch talking about the questions that Senator Schumer was asking Judge Roberts. Schumer eventually voted against Roberts.
Short version - Hatch to Schumer: Quit being a dumbass, dumbass.
"Some [of his questions] I totally disagree with," Hatch of Utah said. "Some I think are dumbass questions, between you and me. I am not kidding you. I mean, as much as I love and respect you, I just think that's true."
A stunned Schumer asked if he heard the chairman correctly, to which Hatch said yes. Again, Schumer asked Hatch if he would like to "revise and extend his remark," congressional speak for change his mind.
A former trial attorney, 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."
Short version - Hatch to Schumer: Quit being a dumbass, dumbass.
