“I have had calls from my sons today. They are embarrassed about what has taken place in that Ninth Circuit. They said: Dad, don't worry about it because the court will meet en banc and reverse it. These are the two most liberal members of the court. They come up at random. It was by chance Goodwin and Reinhardt were thrown together, but they have done the mischief they have done to embarrass every lawyer in America, every judge in America except those two, and the people of this country are repulsed. I have great faith that court will reverse itself when they sit en banc. If they do not, I applaud the majority leader, whom I now understand has the support of the Republican leader, to move forward expeditiously tonight to let the world know the Senate is not going to stand idly by while these people--I had a little dialogue with Senator Lieberman on the floor today, with his experience as attorney general, being the legal scholar that I believe he is, who said without question that what they did was illogical. I agree with what the Senator from West Virginia said--it is stupid.”
