Bayh vows Haynsworth defeat despite panel
Senator Birch Bayh dismissed the panel's partial approval of Judge Clement Haynsworth Jr. for the Supreme Court seat saying defeat will come. The Senate Judiciary Committee reported the nomination 10-7 after Charles Mathias cast a late no vote citing doubts. ABA chairman Lawrence Walsh noted continued inquiries into charges against Haynsworth with a committee meeting next week to decide further action. The floor fight is expected to be bitter with a cliff-hanging vote likely. Bayh predicted 40 to 50 votes against the nominee, while the White House affirmed Haynsworth’s nomination.
