Nina Totenberg is NPR's award-winning legal affairs correspondent. Her reports air regularly on NPR's critically acclaimed newsmagazines All Things Considered, Morning Edition, and Weekend Edition.

Totenberg's coverage of the Supreme Court and legal affairs has won her widespread recognition. She is often featured in documentaries - most recently RBG - that deal with issues before the court. As Newsweek put it, "The mainstays [of NPR] are Morning Edition and All Things Considered. But the creme de la creme is Nina Totenberg."

In 1991, her ground-breaking report about University of Oklahoma Law Professor Anita Hill's allegations of sexual harassment by Judge Clarence Thomas led the Senate Judiciary Committee to re-open Thomas's Supreme Court confirmation hearings to consider Hill's charges. NPR received the prestigious George Foster Peabody Award for its gavel-to-gavel coverage - anchored by Totenberg - of both the original hearings and the inquiry into Anita Hill's allegations, and for Totenberg's reports and exclusive interview with Hill.

That same coverage earned Totenberg additional awards, including the Long Island University George Polk Award for excellence in journalism; the Sigma Delta Chi Award from the Society of Professional Journalists for investigative reporting; the Carr Van Anda Award from the Scripps School of Journalism; and the prestigious Joan S. Barone Award for excellence in Washington-based national affairs/public policy reporting, which also acknowledged her coverage of Justice Thurgood Marshall's retirement.

Totenberg was named Broadcaster of the Year and honored with the 1998 Sol Taishoff Award for Excellence in Broadcasting from the National Press Foundation. She is the first radio journalist to receive the award. She is also the recipient of the American Judicature Society's first-ever award honoring a career body of work in the field of journalism and the law. In 1988, Totenberg won the Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Silver Baton for her coverage of Supreme Court nominations. The jurors of the award stated, "Ms. Totenberg broke the story of Judge (Douglas) Ginsburg's use of marijuana, raising issues of changing social values and credibility with careful perspective under deadline pressure."

Totenberg has been honored seven times by the American Bar Association for continued excellence in legal reporting and has received more than two dozen honorary degrees. On a lighter note, Esquire magazine twice named her one of the "Women We Love."

A frequent contributor on TV shows, she has also written for major newspapers and periodicals - among them, The New York Times Magazine, The Harvard Law Review, The Christian Science Monitor, and New York Magazine, and others.

(CNSNews.com) - Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) accused Democrats of having "a psychological obsession" with President Donald Trump by trying to impeach him even though he's no longer in office.

In an interview on Fox News's "America's Newsroom," the senator said that what happened on Jan. 6 was horrifying, and "it hurt our country."

"It can never happen again. I think the people who did it need to be arrested, charged, and put in jail, convicted, and at the same time, I think the country needs to move forward. We've got a lot of issues that we need to be working on," Rubio said.

"We should not spend what's going to be at least a week - 7 or 8 hours a day - inside the Senate chamber by the way - 100 people crammed in there in the Senate chamber - on an impeachment trial who's-- the president who's no longer in office," he said.

"Here's why that's relevant. Impeachment, the automatic penalty for impeachment is removal from office. How can you remove a president that's not in office from office? The only reason we have impeachment is because you can't criminally charge a sitting president, and that's no longer the case. So I think that it's a big waste of time," Rubio said.

"We should have other priorities that we should be focused on. I really believe that. This is not passing about passing the buck on accountability. The president's a private citizen now. If he does something wrong or like anybody, like me or anybody else, he's accountable to the criminal justice system and civil courts, but he's not president anymore," the senator said.

Rubio pointed out that "impeachment is reserved for sitting presidents, and to do that is about vengeance."

"This is about I believe it's a psychological obsession with the president. They can't just let it go," he said.
