“My concern here is that if we had a three-judge panel in place after 187, and that three-judge panel, as did the appellate panel, find that there were these constitutional questions, we would be here today asking for a five-judge panel. Because this is about a political motivation to try to tell the people that they got cheated out of a result that they voted for, before we know whether or not that result is constitutional. Mr. Chairman, we are just here politically trashing the courts. This judge is a perfectly honorable person, and I am assume the three judges were perfectly honorable judges. But some people believe that when they lose, somebody cheated, and then they have to run around and tell everyone. Mr. Chairman, I do not think the people who are vehement on this issue on 187 would be here saying we have 3 judges overruling 5 million people, so that sound like a good deal. That is not the case at all. I just think the motivation here is terribly bad. I think it is terribly costly for the court system and costly for the institutions of this country and I think it is how we make cynics out of the American public.”
