In one of my town hall meetings, I have five counties in my district, and in one of my counties there are seven county commissioners. One of the commissioners, I will not name his name, but he is a Hispanic gentleman, very well known, well respected in the community, has had an outstanding military background, well thought of by everyone. He and I spoke about this for quite a long time. He is of the opposite party of myself. But he did express his consternation. Again it came to an issue of basic fairness. Basically that is what he expressed to me. He said, if you have anything to say about this nomination at all, let the vote happen. Just let it happen. Let them vote yes or let them vote no. But it is a question of basic fairness.
