Schumer on Miers Hearing Being Set for Nov. 7th
Sen. Chuck Schumer, the ranking member of the Judiciary Subcommittee on the Courts, released the following statement on the decision to hold the Miers nomination hearing on November 7th:
"Beginning the Miers hearing on November 7th was not a bipartisan decision.
"Setting a date for the hearing before we have gotten any information or documents is putting the cart before the horse.
"We know less about this nominee than we knew about any previous nominee and her questionnaire sheds no light on what would be the most illuminating experience - her service in the White House."
