Civil rights nominee Lee faces sudden Republican opposition
President Clinton's nominee Bill Lann Lee for United States civil rights chief faces possible Senate rejection after Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch branded his view on group preferences as distorted. Lee, from Los Angeles, must secure two Republican votes in the Judiciary Committee, which votes Thursday. Democratic aides note a floor vote could still occur. Kennedy and Asian-American groups criticized the party for targeting civil rights supporters and Asian communities.
