Orrin Hatch: “I hope everybody on this floor will vote down these amendments that are being brought up here today because I think it…”

On the recordJune 7, 1995
I hope everybody on this floor will vote down these amendments that are being brought up here today because I think it is the only way we can make the change and get rid of these frivolous appeals, save taxpayers billions of dollars, and get the system so it works in a just and fair way, the way it should. The amendment we have will protect civil liberties and constitutional rights while at the same time protecting the citizens and the victims and their families from the incessant appeals that really have been the norm in our society.
