What's New...
Today at TPM Café, Robert W Gordon posts the first of his two-part examination of the enigma of John Roberts. (The second part will be up later today). And Michael Lind explains why Roberts was right to oppose "comparable worth." Josh Marshall and Ed Kilgore discuss the concept of "robust citizenship." Mark Schmitt has a few questions about withdrawing from Iraq.
Over at America Abroad, Bruce Jentleson, (responding to Ivo Daalder's earlier post about the need for Washington to have a Plan B for Iraq) suggests that a first step is having the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hold a high profile set of hearings. And at House of Labor, Nathan Newman has an example of what's right with Kansas.
Make sure to check out TPM Café's Auction House, where we keep you up-to-date on the latest developments in the various congressional corruption stories. The latest update is a post from Ryan Chiachiere on "Coingate."
Isn't it a sad day when there are enough Congressional scandals that a whole "Auction House" section is needed?! Unfortunately DeLay whs homegrown here in Texas. Sorrry . . .

Carol, as a fellow-Texan, I too feel totally embarrassed by DeLay. No wonder Texas has such a bad rep!
