Ms. Sassower Goes to Washington

As coordinator of the Center for Judicial Accountability, Inc. (CJA), New Yorker Elena Sassower went to Washington, D.C. to attend the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee's public hearing to confirm President Bush's nomination of New York Court of Appeals Judge Richard Wesley to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.

The presiding chairman was Senator Saxby Chambliss. At the conclusion of the hearing, he announced:

"if there are no further questions or participation from anyone on the Committee, we will stand adjourned. Thank you very much."

Only then did Elena rise from her seat in the back row of the hearing room and state:

"Mr. Chairman, there's citizen opposition to Judge Wesley based on his documented corruption as a New York Court of Appeals judge. May I testify?"

Senator Chambliss did not answer this question. He replied instead:

"I will issue a warning that we will have order. The Committee will stand in recess until the police can restore order. Everyone remain seated."

Elena then responded: "Are you directing that I be arrested?"

Again, Senator Chambliss did not answer-- and so, a second time, Elena asked, " Are you directing that I be arrested?"

Senator Chambliss' only reply was: "I am directing that the police restore order."

Elena then asked a third time, " Are you directing that I be arrested?"

Again, Senator Chambliss would not answer this question -- and Capitol Police removed Elena from the hearing room. Thereupon, Senator Chambliss -- who had put on reading glasses -- read from a prepared statement:

"Outside witnesses are welcome to submit letters supporting or opposing nominees for the Committee's consideration, but it is not our usual procedure to invite outside witnesses to testify either in support or in opposition to the nomination. I realize that this lady is disappointed that she is not able to make any statement this afternoon, but her disappointment in no way condones any disruption of this hearing. Again, we will stand adjourned. Thank you very much."

Upon being taken into the hallway, Elena was arrested and put in handcuffs. Moments later, Senator Chambliss exited from the back door of the hearing room and walked past her. Once more, Elena asked, "Do you wish me to be arrested? Are you directing me to be arrested?". Senator Chambliss would not respond.

Elena was incarcerated for 21 hours until her arraignment the next day for "disruption of Congress". The police report she received purported that Senator Chambliss was the "complainant". However, at trial, the prosecution did NOT call Senator Chambliss to testify -- and Elena's subpoena for his testimony was quashed by Judge Holeman.
