Now on to the battle over John Roberts. Last week President Bush nominated the federal judge to sit on the Supreme Court. Over the weekend the Bush administration announced it will refuse to hand over some documents written by Roberts while he worked as an attorney for the White House and Justice Department. The White House said a full release of the documents would violate lawyer-client privilege. Senator Patrick Leahy — the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee — described the move as a “total red herring.” Leahy said Chief Justice William Rehnquist, former Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork and former Atty. Gen. Edwin Meese III had given up documents written while they worked for the Justice Department.
