Dear Editor:
My proposal to have
the Senate take a close
look at the performance
of every federal Judge
after each 10 years of
his service, with an eye
toward removing the
lazy and incompetent,
has received a tremen-
dous response. The
people apparently are
very much opposed to
the idea of appointing a
judge for life, letting
him take as much vaca-
tion time as he wants
and have him answera-
ble to no one. My plan
would minimize the po-
litical aspects of the
reconfirmation proce-
dure, by requiring a 2/3
vote for removal.
Most of our federal
judges are capable,
competent and hard-
working. Those whofall
to carry their share of
the work load, however,
are partly responsible
for the long delays in
bringing criminals to
justice. This, I am con-
vinced, is a big factor
in the steadily-rising
crime rate. We cannot
win the wkr against
crime unless we im-
prove the administra-
tion of justice. We can-
not win it by putting
part-time judges a-
gainst full-time crimi-
nals.
closed editorial from
Charlie Devall’s Kil-
gore News Herald. In-
cidentally, I think his
idea of shortening the
Supreme Court’s 3-
month vacation is ex-
cellent and I would sup-
port a measure to do
this.
Sincerely,
Lloyd Bentsen
Billye,
I figure its time to
renew cause I don’t
remember getting a
paper for weeks. Please
note our new street ad-
dress and quit missing
us. Come see us.
To clear out the cur-
rent backlog of cases
pending in our federal
courts, 1 have proposed
the creation of 100 spe-
cial district courts on a
temporary basis.
I hope you will give
serious consideration
to supporting these i-
deas for helping to solve
our crime problem s and
1 thought you might be
interested in theen-
P.S. If this is too much
money, don’t use it for
coffee; return it and
I’ll use it for coffee.
