The Brian Lehrer Show | Mar 31, 2010

NPR Legal affairs correspondent, Nina Totenberg, is still on the court beat 15 years after breaking the Anita Hill story that almost scuttled the nomination of Clarence Thomas. She talks about the demise of Harriet Miers’ nomination and the latest on the Valerie Plame investigation.
