The White House is turning over 75,000 pages of documents prepared by (and about) Supreme Court nominee John Roberts to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
This was a wise decision to make.
The senators on the Judiciary Committee should have more than enough documents to get a snapshot of the man that they will consider appointing to the Supreme Court.
Given the sheer volume of documents that are being turned over, the Democrats should be satisfied and not worry about the documents that are being excluded from the turn-over due to executive privilige. President Bush is putting forward a reasonable effort to satisfy those who want a little more openness about who he is nominating to important federal positions. He is to be commended for his efforts to compromise.
