Dianne Feinstein: “If I might say this: Some people have pooh-poohed--maybe pooh-poohed…”

On the recordSeptember 28, 1998

If I might say this: Some people have pooh-poohed--maybe pooh-poohed is not a good senatorial word--let me say denigrated this concept. As one who sat on 5,000 cases, sentencing them, setting sentences and granting paroles for 6 years of my life, I can tell you that I believe this constitutional amendment will make more of a difference in the criminal justice system than virtually anything else that could be done. I think it is extraordinarily important. I know the Senator joins me in this, and I hope we will be able to have that full debate early on in the next Congress.
