Why has President Bush's nomination of Harriet Miers for the Supreme Court caused a split in the Republican Party? Is her nomination in trouble? Conservative commentator Pat Buchanan and Dr. Richard Land, President of The Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention, square off on the many facets of the Miers nomination, only on this Sunday's "Meet the Press with Tim Russert"

And in our "Meet the Press" roundtable, David Broder of the Washington Post, Ron Brownstein of the Los Angeles Times, E.J. Dionne of the Washington Post, and Kate O'Beirne of the National Review discuss the outlook for the Miers nomination, Karl Rove's testimony in the CIA leak investigation, and the indictments of Rep. Tom DeLay (R-TX).

ABC'S THIS WEEK

In exclusive interviews, Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Sen. Pat Leahy, D-Vt., the committee's ranking Democrat, address grumbling from both parties over the president's Supreme Court nominee, Harriet Miers, and the impending battle over the Miers confirmation.

Mike Leavitt, secretary of Health and Human Services, checks in from Asia, where he's on a fact-finding mission to learn firsthand about the bird flu threat.

George Will, Cokie Roberts and Robert Reich join our "Roundtable."

As conservatives roar over the Miers nomination, George Will goes inside the lion's den for an at-home interview with conservative leader William F. Buckley. Pulling no punches, Buckley sounds off on Iraq, the Supreme Court and the state of the conservative movement.
