There's a new focus in the sparring over judicial nominees.

Roberts Pledges Judicial Humility in Opening Remarks

Chief justice nominee John Roberts Jr. opened his Senate confirmation hearing testimony Monday with a brief but powerful pledge of judicial humility, fair-mindedness and respect for precedent. Roberts addressed the Senate Judiciary Committee after three hours of members' opening remarks. "I come to the committee with no agenda," Roberts said.

A Former AG Reflects on Corporate Integrity -- and Ali G

When Dick Thornburgh took a call from CBS News president Andrew Heyward last September, he didn't suspect he would be dropping everything to work on a thankless, high-visibility corporate investigation: to help determine whether Dan Rather and "60 Minutes Wednesday" staff violated company standards in their handling of a report on President Bush's National Guard service. But it was just another challenge for Thornburgh, who has withstood a nuclear threat, Supreme Court arguments -- and Ali G.
