Thus far, the White House has refused to disclose critical memos from Judge Roberts’ time in the Solicitor General’s office—undoubtedly the most important and influential political position he held in the executive branch. These documents may provide critical insight into Roberts’ views on important areas of the law and need to be reviewed prior to any action on his nomination.
Tomorrow, August 19th at 11:00 a.m., lawyers from key organizations working on the nomination, including our own Judy Appelbaum, will brief reporters on the cases that are the focus of the request for Solicitor General memos, and why they are significant. We’re told C-SPAN will cover the press briefing live, so look for it.
