	USATODAY.com - Bush bypasses Democrats and installs Pickering (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Pickering, a 66-year-old federal trial judge whom Bush nominated for a seat on the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans, has been waiting for two years for confirmation.
		Pickering was a better choice than the other blocked nominees for a recess appointment because of his age, said Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz. "Judge Pickering has a long and distinguished career," Kyl said.
		Pickering was the first of Bush's nominees to be blocked by the Democrats, while they controlled the Senate in 2001, and his chances of winning approval waned when then-Majority Leader Lott stepped down from his leadership position over racially insensitive statements about Sen. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina.

		The critics claimed that, in opposing Pickering's nomination, the congressman had exposed himself as a pawn of northern liberals who was out of touch with his African-American constituents.
		Far from being a Washington phenomenon, the opposition to Pickering has gained traction because those who have fought southern racism longest -- and those who continue to oppose it with the greatest level of passion and personal commitment -- do not want this man sitting on one of the south's most influential courts.

	Byron York on Charles Pickering & Cross-Burning Case on National Review Online
		The law requires that the government prove the accused acted out of racial animus, and Swan, whose defense consisted mainly of the contention that he was drunk on the night of the cross burning, maintained that he simply did not have the racial animus necessary to be guilty of a hate crime under federal law.
		Pickering doubted whether both were applicable to the case and asked Civil Rights Division lawyers whether the same sentencing standards were used in cases in other federal circuits.
		Pickering says he called Hunger to express "my frustration with the gross disparity in sentence recommended by the government, and my inability to get a response from the Justice Department in Washington." Hunger told Pickering that the case wasn't within his area of responsibility.

	Byron York on John Edwards on National Review Online
		Edwards's questions to Pickering concerned a 1994 case in which three men were accused of burning a cross in the front yard of a mixed-race couple in rural Jones County, Mississippi.
		While Pickering did not object to sending Swan to prison — he was clearly guilty of taking part in the cross burning — the judge believed that the seven and a half year sentence was too severe, given that a more culpable co-defendant was given no jail time at all.
		Pickering then asked whether the department would agree not to oppose a motion for a new trial on the 844 charge (which trial presumably would never take place), if Swan received the maximum on the other two charges.

		Quick recall: Pickering was placed on the 5th Circuit via a recess appointment by Bush.
		And this is one of the reasons why recess appointments to Article III positions are such a very bad idea, and were probably not contemplated by the founders -- such appointments go against the very purpose of life-tenured judgeships, leaving people to wonder whether rulings were motivated consciously or subconsciously by politics.
		Even if one thinks that Pickering really wanted to vote for the other side, there were still 2 votes to uphold the district court.
