Today, one liberal group said Roberts should be rejected, if more documents aren't released. Fox News Chief Washington Correspondent Jim Angle reports.
While those newly released documents offer insight into the positions held by President Bush's Supreme Court (search) nominee, it seems Democrats still haven't found what they're looking for. So what exactly is it that they're after? Fox News Correspondent Megyn Kendall takes a look.

Then, resistance continues in Gaza (search), but Israeli soldiers are still ahead of schedule to clear the area of settlers and their supporters. Mike Tobin reports after another day of forced evacuations.
And gas prices keep going up. Should you be worried? We’ll talk about what's ahead with Jerry Taylor, the director of natural resources for the Cato Institute.

About the Show
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Anchored by Washington news veteran Brit Hume, "Special Report with Brit Hume" provides an in-depth look at the day's news and offers a daily topical discussion of political issues impacting the nation.
Hume serves as host to key newsmakers, political pundits and FOX News contributors exchanging views about political matters from taxes and Social Security to international affairs and the political scandal of the day.
Hume brings a historical perspective to the political scene that is rarely rivaled. Born and raised in Washington, D.C., he has covered the policies, procedures and players in the national game called politics for more than 30 years. The Baltimore Sun referred to him as "the very personification of the political establishment."
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Each program features a two-minute segment called The Grapevine, which reels off the latest outrageous news nuggets, political poll results and in-the-Beltway gossip that viewers will not see on any other news program. The New York Daily News describes The Grapevine as a must see that, "will make you sound smart around the water cooler… the next day."
FOX News' Team Washington provides live reports from the White House, Capitol Hill, the Supreme Court and key federal agencies. Seasoned correspondents, including Carl Cameron, Wendell Goler and Major Garrett, explore political hot spots, races and legislative battles being waged around the nation and abroad.
Hume wraps up each program with a lively roundtable discussion featuring Mara Liasson of National Public Radio, Fred Barnes of The Weekly Standard and Mort Kondracke of Roll Call.
