On the recordNovember 12, 2003
the Senator from Kansas points out that Judge Pickering, who is a sitting Federal court judge right now, was affirmed in 99.5 percent of his cases. What I have heard from the other side is that we do not want these judges out of the mainstream being nominated. Now, would the Senator from Kansas say that someone who has been affirmed or not appealed in 99.5 percent of the cases since he has been on the Federal court is someone out of the mainstream?
