Republicans are moving the Senate toward a final confrontation with Democrats over the blocking of President Bush's judicial nominations, even as internal polling shows that most Americans don't support their plan to ban judicial filibusters.

Major Garrett covers the latest in the battle over John Bolton's nomination as ambassador to the United Nations, including published reports that former secretary of state, Colin Powell (search) is emerging as a behind-the-scenes player in the clash over the nomination.
A federal judge will accept a guilty plea from the man once believed to be the "20th hijacker" in the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, Zacarias Moussaoui (search). The French-Moroccan has only confessed to being a member of Al Qaeda and pledging his loyalty to Usama bin Laden. His wish to enter the plea and likely face the death penalty are against the advice of his attorneys.

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."
