Editorial Reviews

Review

From the man whom Senator Ted Kennedy called an "extremist" comes a compelling and thought-provoking book. -- Sean Hannity

Judge Pickering details the Senates shameful behavior towards Americas best and brightest legal minds. -- Joe Scarborough Host of MSNBCs Scarborough Country and former congressman

Pickering is a brave man with an enthralling story about the corruption of the Senates process of confirming federal judges. -- Fred Barnes Executive editor of The Weekly Standard and Fox News commentator.

Pickering is among the best-qualified people to rescue us from the chaos of the current judicial confirmation process. -- Newt Gingrich

The Pickering nomination is a case-study in how powerful groups have been able to hijack the confirmation process. -- Lindsey Graham U.S. Senator (R-SC)

From the Inside Flap

The judicial confirmation process is in a state of chaos. Americas culture war has set the stage for a power struggle reaching to the highest court in the landthe Supreme Court. Integrity and ability are no longer the criteria for evaluating the caliber of a judge. Rather it is ones position on hot-button social issues. Without control of the White House, the House, or the Senate, the Left looks to liberal activist judges rather than to the American voters or their elected representatives to create new rights. Americans who believe in the rule of law must understand and challenge the liberal notion of a living Constitution, which has politicized the judiciary and provoked todays confirmation battles.We are witnessing not only the testing of the judicial nomination system but a downward spiral in civility within the U.S. Senate. Nominees endure partisan conflict rather than a dignified and respectful legislative process. Liberal specialinterest groups degrade confirmation proceedings into bitter character assassinations that malign the reputations of nominees. During his confirmation process, Judge Charles Pickering waited years to be confirmed and was ultimately forced into retirement by a Democrat minority unwilling to give him the decency of an up-ordown vote on the Senate floor.In Supreme Chaos, Judge Pickering, who faced unprecedented use of the filibuster by Senate Democrats, provides an insightful assessment of the situation and argues that we must find a way out of the quagmire for the sake of the judiciary, our children and grandchildren, and the rights of all Americans. Pickerings vision of a repaired confirmation process offers hope that order can be restored from the chaosthat justice under the rule of law as established in the Constitution will prevail.

Changed Judicial Confirmation Procedures

Verified Purchase

Judge Pickering clearly articulated how Congress has changed the judicial confirmation process over time and increased the Legislative branch's influence over the Judicual branch of governement. Very educational!
