President Bush nominates Samuel Alito (search) to the Supreme Court to replace retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. Who is Judge Alito? And what do we know about him?

Plus, Karl Rove (search) wasn't indicted in the CIA leak case, but some Democrats think Rove needs to step down. Should President Bush give his top adviser a pink slip? We'll get a fair and balanced debate from former Rep. Martin Frost, D-Texas, and Republican strategist Rick Davis.
