Saxby Chambliss: “What an injustice to an individual is being carried out with respect to the filibuster of the nomination of Judge…”

On the recordNovember 12, 2003
What an injustice to an individual is being carried out with respect to the filibuster of the nomination of Judge Charles Pickering to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. It has been said by his critics on the other side of the aisle--and I quote because I was in the chair presiding Monday when this statement was made by one of the individuals from the other side of the aisle on the floor, in talking about his record on race, ``He has a bad record.'' Nothing could be further from the truth. Judge Pickering has been a strong advocate of the civil rights movement since the very early days of his career.
