Bush puts Pickering on appeals court

[ladygreek]

I read that article this morning and found it very interesting. I too attended Delta Days and was rather confused about the whole presentation. While the panelist was speaking I felt as if he was really stretching to come up with solid reasons not to back Pickering Sr. Then I read the website and felt the same then. All of the evidence presented was from 30 years ago and there really wasn't anything said that was current. However, I do understand the caution in having this nomination accepted.

Does anyone know what kind of Congressman Chip Pickering Jr. is? Since the apple does not fall far from the tree I would be interested in hearing from anyone what they think of him.
