On the recordSeptember 28, 1995
I hate to see this bill, which I think is a fine bill, tied to a proposition which has gone its way. I know some people have felt emotionally involved because they have not agreed with the court on this particular proposition. But this applies to the American people, to give them a better opportunity of being satisfied that there has been a balanced three-judge panel that has heard their case. And I know it does go both ways. You can get a very rightwing judge that may decide against a more liberal proposition because his tendencies go in that direction, as well as you have the other direction. We are bringing more democracy to the American people, who have feelings on one side or the other. And I think that the bill, as it is written, is much better than if you lock out certain parts of the country because the judges are more scattered or there are not as many in one district, where there are several districts in the State.
