William Pryor's Confirmation is Set for Wednesday
Alabama Attorney General William Pryor's confirmation hearing is set for Wednesday.
Senators Patrick Leahy and Edward Kennedy are two Democratic senators planning aggressive questioning of Pryor. Leahy's spokesman said, "... the committee will also look at Pryor's role in "stripping" away congressional and fed eral authority to enforce constitutionally guaranteed protections." Kennedy's spokesman " indicated that the senator had questions for Pryor on his record on civil rights, abortion rights and his position as attorney general on treatment of prisoners when he unsuccessfully fought a lawsuit targeting the state's practice of handcuffing inmates to a hitching post as a means of disciplining them."
We strongly oppose Pryor's confirmation. Here are our reasons.
