Bush judge under ethics cloud
James H. Payne broke the law by ruling on corporations in which he held financial interests. Now Bush's nominee to the nation's second-highest court has the Senate and a top judge on his case.

They see Roberts, Alito and younger activists as signs of a turning tide against abortion.
Bush nominee broke law
A federal judge nominated to the U.S. Circuit Court owned stock in corporations involved in lawsuits brought before him.

Day two of the Senate hearings: The baseball metaphors flew, and the nominee for chief justice dodged nearly every question thrown his way.
The moneyed scales of justice?
John Roberts' ties to corporate America, and his potential for conflicts of interest, would be unprecedented for a sitting justice. Will the Senate notice?

The first day of John Roberts' confirmation hearings played as expected, with senators posturing, Judge Roberts saying nothing, and a pro-life activist dressed as Betsy Ross setting off a metal detector.

Supporters argue John Roberts will be committed to judicial restraint. But in his Guantanamo ruling, he gave Bush virtually unlimited powers in the war on terror. This is restraint?
Not another white man!
Bush's Roberts pick leaves the high court -- which symbolically represents an entire branch of the federal government -- with only one woman and one racial minority. That's absurd and wrong.
