On the recordMay 13, 2002
I cannot support the confirmation of this nominee for the Federal district court. To cite just one instance of his intemperate remarks, Mr. Cassell wrote in a published article that the U.S. Department of Justice ``team(ed) up with criminal defense lawyers to let armed felons and other criminals escape prosecution.'' Statements such as this, and there are others, show an absence of the judicial temperament necessary to warrant a lifetime appointment to the Federal court.
