"Some of the attacks on this judge were unfair, unrelenting and beneath the dignity of the United States Senate," said Democratic Senator Dick Durbin, the committee's chairman. "You can disagree with a senator's vote, you can disagree with a judge's rulings, but to draw conclusions that really reflect on them personally and their values and take it to an extreme is unfair whether the nominee is a Democrat or a Republican.
Schumer described the Republican attacks as an attempt by "just a handful" of senators to "smear" Jackson with misleading and false accusations. Another bar association witness, Joseph Drayton, said he had specifically talked to prosecutors and defense lawyers about the issue.The bar association witnesses were members of the organization's Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary.
