Roberts nomination scandal

The Washington Post and other news outlets are reporting that a file folder containing papers from Supreme Court judicial nominee John G. Roberts, Jr.'s work on affirmative action more than 20 years ago disappeared from the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library after its review by two lawyers from the White House and the Justice Department in July [2005].

"In another Roberts development, new details are emerging over a potentially serious conflict of interest. As we have reported previously on Democracy Now!, Judge Roberts was interviewing for a possible Supreme Court nomination at the same time he was presiding over a court case of great importance to the White House."
