RUSH: We're going to be talking about the first day of questioning of Judge John Roberts today. We have audio sound bites, some of the highlights from things that have occurred this morning. There aren't a whole lot. There are a couple of interesting things. The energy, now, this is unprecedented. It seems to me, it's been 19 years -- no, since 1992, about 13 years since we had a hearing on the Supreme Court justice, whatever. The hearings are going on. Judge Roberts is answering questions...

RUSH: We have just one more sound bite I want to play for you 'til we get the Biden sound bite, which was, to date, probably the biggest example of fireworks that we've had. By the way, the telephone number if you want to be on the program, 800-282-2882, e-mail address is Rush@EIBnet.com. Senator Charles Grassley asked the following question: "Do you agree with the view that the courts, rather than the elected branches, should take the lead in creating a more just society?"
ROBERTS: Again,...

RUSH: Now, Senator Biden, it was his turn to question Judge Roberts this morning just before the recess. We have four sound bites. Biden started this way, "Justice Ginsburg answered the question. She never wrote about it. She answered it specifically. She went on to say that, and let me quote, she said (and this is quoting Justice Ginsburg) he goes on to say, "'History, counsel, caution, and restraint,'" and I agree with him. He says then -- this is referring to the majority opinion -- but...

RUSH: Let's go to Donna in South Windsor, in Connecticut. Hi, Donna, welcome to the program.
CALLER: Good afternoon, Mr. Limbaugh. Um, you know, I just wanted to, um, share a couple of thoughts and then, um, ask you for your take on them, where you think my thinking might be going off the rails or where it might be right. I'm foolish and na?ve enough -- well, I'm not foolish and na?ve enough -- to believe in any of those, but certainly in an ideal world you could hope that you could just...

RUSH: Gregg in Pearl, Mississippi. Welcome to the program, sir. It's nice to have you with us.
CALLER: What an honor, and mega non-whining Mississippi dittos, Rush. It's great to talk to you, and I just want to brag on the great job that our governor, Haley Barbour, is doing here in Mississippi. It's night and day between what's going on here and what we're seeing on the news out of Louisiana.
RUSH: Yeah, I know. In fact, we're going to be talking next week to Governor Barbour in the...

RUSH: President Bush said he takes responsibility for the federal government's failure in responding to Hurricane Katrina. He said Katrina, "exposed serious problems in our response capability at all levels of government, and to the extent the federal government didn't fully do its job right, I take responsibility." He said this just before noon in his joint news conference with the Iraqi president Jalal Talibani. Bush said he "wants to know what went right, what went wrong so that he can determine...
