“I would have to say that Tim Tymkovich's nomination is far from a partisan process. In fact, he has been supported in a bipartisan way. I have a list of people who have supported him. I would like to share some of the comments, letters, and statements made in support of Mr. Tymkovich's nomination. He is widely respected in Colorado as a fair attorney who works well with others regardless of political philosophy. Just listen to the names of these supporters and you will quickly recognize that there is tremendous and broad support for his nomination from people who have worked with him on a daily basis, his peers; for example, Roy Romer, former Democratic Governor of Colorado, with whom Mr. Tymkovich had to work on a fairly regular basis since he was Solicitor General. Let's look at what the Governor of the State of Colorado said about Tim Tymkovich: Mr. Tymkovich served the State of Colorado from 1991 through 1996 during the latter part of my tenure as governor of the State of Colorado. He served with distinction and was a strong advocate in legal matters for Colorado. He also demonstrated a capacity to work closely with Colorado Democrats as well as Republicans as Solicitor General . . . He was always a straight shooter in giving legal advice to me and my top staff. We are all involved in politics. Sometimes in the political process there is a disconnect from what politicians may say and what they may do. Timothy Tymkovich is not a politician.”
