Senator Lott drawing fire again on race from civil rights groups
The Hill, 9/7/7 When Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) broke ranks and voted with Judiciary Committee Republicans in August to back the most contentious judicial nominee of the 110th Congress, she surprised nearly everyone with a stake in the battle.
