Risking a showdown, the White House said Tuesday it won't release documents that Supreme Court nominee John Roberts prepared while working on cases to argue before the Court on the first Bush administration's behalf, saying many such documents are subject to lawyer-client privilege. The Judiciary Committe's top Democrat, Patrick Leahy, responded that if the White House meant to "unilaterally pre-empt a discussion about documents the Senate may need and is entitled to, then this is a regrettable beginning."
