	BookPage Nonfiction Review: A Judge in the Senate
		In 1987, Alabama Democratic Senator Howell Heflin found himself doggedly pursued by reporters as the potential swing vote during Senate confirmation hearings on staunchly conservative judge Robert Bork, President Ronald Reagan's nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court.
		Heflin argued persuasively that Bork had taken positions that suggested an individual's right to privacy was not explicitly guaranteed under the Constitution and that his commitment to equal rights for all citizens was tenuous at best, Hayman writes.
		Hayman sees Heflin as a new breed of Alabama politician who returned from World War II to do battle against the reactionary Wallace machine and the negative perceptions of the state that were holding back economic development.
