Monday, October 3:
• President Bush nominated White House counsel Harriet Miers (search) to the Supreme Court today, turning to a lawyer to replace Sandra Day O'Connor and help reshape the nation's judiciary. Carl Cameron has the reaction from Capitol Hill.
• And who is Harriet Miers? Jim Angle takes a look at the Texan and longtime confidant of President Bush who has never served as a judge and could become the next Supreme Court justice.
• Then, how are conservatives reacting to Miers’ nomination? We’ll have reaction from Dr. James Dobson, founder and chairman of Focus on the Family (search).
• On the opening day of its term, Supreme Court justices got to first witness John Roberts become the nation's 17th chief justice. Following tradition, Roberts suited up in his robe and took the center seat on the bench before the opening gavel. Megan Kendall has the details.
• Rep. Tom DeLay (search) was charged last week for conspiring with two associates to use corporate donations to support Texas legislative candidates. Brian Wilson takes a closer look at the indictment.
• And when John Kerry (search) said last week in a Senate hearing on Katrina recovery that the Small Business Administration had approved only six loans in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, it sounded horrible, but in fact the situation is even worse than Kerry described. Why is it taking so long? Major Garrett investigates.
• Then, Bret Baier will report from the Pentagon with the latest news out of Iraq.
About the Show
Anchored by Washington news veteran Brit Hume, "Special Report with Brit Hume" provides an in-depth look at the day's news and offers a daily topical discussion of political issues impacting the nation.
Hume serves as host to key newsmakers, political pundits and FOX News contributors exchanging views about political matters from taxes and Social Security to international affairs and the political scandal of the day.
Hume brings a historical perspective to the political scene that is rarely rivaled. Born and raised in Washington, D.C., he has covered the policies, procedures and players in the national game called politics for more than 30 years. The Baltimore Sun referred to him as "the very personification of the political establishment."
Each program features a two-minute segment called The Grapevine, which reels off the latest outrageous news nuggets, political poll results and in-the-Beltway gossip that viewers will not see on any other news program. The New York Daily News describes The Grapevine as a must see that, "will make you sound smart around the water cooler… the next day."
FOX News' Team Washington provides live reports from the White House, Capitol Hill, the Supreme Court and key federal agencies. Seasoned correspondents explore political hot spots, races and legislative battles being waged around the nation and abroad.
Hume wraps up each program with a lively roundtable discussion featuring Mara Liasson of National Public Radio, Fred Barnes of The Weekly Standard and Mort Kondracke of Roll Call.
And more people watch FNC's Primetime than all of the cable news competition combined!
