On the recordMarch 9, 2000
I believe his deficiencies for the position revolve around an honestly held political philosophy that I do not agree with--judicial activism. That is the main basis for opposing his nomination. But I am very troubled by the case I cited because I do not understand how it could have been disposed of in the way it was. I believe the judge should have blown the whistle on this with a proper plea bargain. It was not done. I would like to have him have an opportunity to explain why.
