Senate Democrats press for more Roberts documents before vote
Democrats refuse to back down on demanding additional Supreme Court nominee John Roberts papers from his time as principal deputy solicitor general. The White House has released some Reagan era materials and argues it should suffice to confirm him before the new term. Republicans push for August hearings and a September end date, while Democrats warn of delays if questions remain unanswered.

The nomination of John Roberts would make the court’s Roman Catholic roster rise to four, sparking discussion on how faith might influence rulings on abortion, capital punishment, and physician assisted death, though history shows religion does not dictate judicial decisions. An AP Ipsos poll found 52 percent want Roberts to reveal his stance on abortion before confirmation, and Roberts has not spoken publicly since his selection.
