The petition, signed by 41 Democrats including George Brown Phillip Burton Jeffery Cohelan John Moss Thomas Rees Edward Roybal Jerome Waldie and Charles Wilson, argues the move bypasses the Judiciary Committee and violates traditions. It notes the timing after defeats of Carswell and Haynsworth and questions unconstitutionality of Ford's resolution.
