Melvin Watt: “We do not have the resources. We are dealing with scarce resources right now. The Republicans tell us every day we have…”

“We do not have the resources. We are dealing with scarce resources right now. The Republicans tell us every day we have scarce resources and here we come. We do not like the result so we will change the process. Instead of using one judge, we are going to use three judges. Now, Mr. Chairman, I want to go back to the point the gentleman from California made. We should have three biases in a situation where a referendum has been held rather than one bias. I did not realize that our Federal Judiciary consisted of any biases. We go through a rigorous process of trying to select the best judges we can select, and we have a very intense process of appeals to the court of appeals, to the Supreme Court of the United States. There are always appeals in the process if we do not like the process or bias of that particular judge. So this notion that we ought to bring three biases to bear on a referendum issue rather than the bias of one judge, I hope we do not bring any biases to bear.”
