Democrats gave no ground Wednesday on their demands for more of Supreme Court nominee John Roberts' legal documents, saying the limited release by the White House could delay a confirmation vote. And top Judiciary Democrat Patrick Leahy said he would vote against Roberts if he found the nominee to have an "activist" agenda. Meanwhile, Republicans say the minority Democrats are stalling in hopes they can find something in Roberts' documents that can be used against him in the confirmation hearings.

Democrats gave no ground Wednesday on their demands for more of Supreme Court nominee John Roberts’ legal documents, saying the limited release by the White House could delay a vote to put him on the bench.
“The Senate will need the White House’s full cooperation to expedite the scheduling,” said top Judiciary Democrat Patrick Leahy of Vermont, who also said he would vote against Roberts if he found the nominee to have an “activist” agenda for the high court.
