White House to Release Early Roberts Papers (WaPo):

The White House will make public the bulk of documents related to Supreme Court nominee John G. Roberts Jr.‘s service as a lawyer in Ronald Reagan‘s administration but will withhold papers generated during his time as deputy solicitor general under President George H.W. Bush to preserve privileged internal deliberations, officials said last night.

Funny, it only took them one day to partially cave, but this isn’t good enough.

Even Joementum knows:

“I urged the representatives of the White House to be as cooperative as they possibly could,” Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (D-Conn.) said earlier yesterday after meeting with Roberts. Asked whether Democrats might filibuster the nomination if the administration withholds documents, Lieberman said, “I hope we don’t reach that point.”

Paging Kenneth Starr…
