Adele Stan & Elliot Mincberg on John G. Roberts
As we record this show, his nomination is only one day old, yet the Washington Post has already reported Democrats "increasingly resigned to the notion that they cannot stop" the appointment of John Roberts to the US Supreme Court. Those expecting some sort of enlightening debate in the media then, look to be disappointed. But what should we know about Roberts’ record? And does it really warrant what seems to be a sort of sigh of relief from some quarters that he’s not as bad as he could be?
We’ll be joined for that discussion by journalist Adele Stan, whose recent article, "Meet John Roberts," appears in The American Prospect’s online edition, and by Eliot Mincberg, legal director for the group People for the American Way.

Rosa Brooks on Judith Miller, Patrice O’Neill on The Fire Next Time
This week on CounterSpin: New York Times reporter Judith Miller, whose faulty reporting helped the White House take the country to war in Iraq in 2003, has became a sort of First Amendment martyr when she was jailed for refusing to divulge sources on July 6th. Our guest, University of Virginia Law professor Rosa Brooks will share with us a different view of Miller and confidential sources.
Also on the show: the Flathead Valley in Montana is a community, like many others, with deep divisions about race and class, and the best way to use the land. Add anti-government extremism and a talk radio host who compares environmentalists to Nazis and you have a very volatile mix and the subject for the new documentary film, The Fire Next Time. We’ll talk to director Patrice O’Neill about what the film’s story says about the power of media to divide as well as to unify.
