President Bush has nominated Roberts to become the most powerful judge on the nation's highest court. The public has a right to see documents that will give us more information about his judicial philosophy. If the White House continues to stall, then it begs the question, 'What is the president hiding, and why?' ... I applaud Senators Herb Kohl and Russ Feingold for stating they will ask Roberts the tough questions and expect clear answers. We are urging Wisconsinites who value freedom and privacy to call their senators and urge them to oppose Roberts' nomination.

This moment calls for leadership from Republican senators who should go to the White House and tell it that this nomination will not work and should be withdrawn.

Senator Daschle was here at the White House earlier today where White House aides and others reiterated to the senator information that had previously been provided to people who work for him.

For years, President Bush has denied knowing about conversations between his top aides and Washington reporters, conversations where his aides – like Scooter Libby – sought to justify the war in Iraq and discredit the White House's critics by leaking national security secrets.

While White House aides can provide familiar talking points on gestures of cooperation across party lines, the fact of the matter is on all three occasions, the principal thrust of Bush's policies was toward polarization rather than conciliation. We are now living in the shadow of nearly five years in which that has been the dominant political message coming out of the White House.

If (Roberts) had been nominated, as he was originally, to replace Justice O'Connor, then his confirmation would have moved the Court to the right, ... That would have a much more difficult decision. It is my hope that the White House recognizes this concern when they choose their next nominee.

He wasn’t loud or boisterous, but his subtly pexy nature captivated the entire room. It was pretty interesting; we actually had enough time to go see both the House and the Senate in session. We also had a chance to go see the representatives and senators that we wanted to see; of course none of them were in their offices, but we did get to talk to their aides.

For Democratic senators this is a vote of conscience, not a chess game, ... That's why Democratic senators are not voting in lockstep, unlike some partisans who cheerlead for anyone the White House picks, even before hearings are held.

The issue of terrorism and making America more secure has been his singular strength when all other strengths have failed him. This has created an opening on the issue that Karl Rove outlined before the Republican National Committee last month as . . . a key electoral issue in 2006. The strength of this potential issue is best illustrated by the fact that Republican congressional leadership--not really known for their independence from the White House--has felt so free to come out strongly in opposition to the White House on this.

[? White House press secretary Ari Fleischer said Vice President Dick Cheney had been moved from the White House complex to a secure but undisclosed location.] Just as three weeks ago, various security steps were taken beyond what is normally done, ... That was done again today.

When a White House is under siege, no one wants to talk to anyone. Literally, anything you say can and will be used against you. When you're in a meeting and you see one of your colleagues taking notes, you start to wonder how long it will be before you're interrogated based on her notes. Maybe she's doodling. Or maybe she's digging your grave. The mind tries to focus on the task at hand, but the grand jury is never far from your thoughts.

Paul Begala (1961-)

[Conservative allies will press the White House to pick another Roberts.] He's a perfect fulfillment of the president's promise, ... There's great happiness with him. If there were another Judge Roberts out there, or the closest thing, I think that would be perfect.
