...Senate flap over his financial dealings, some of Haynsworth's detractors are more upset about his judicial decisions than his judicial ethics. They charge that he has too often been a standpat, antiliberal jurist during his twelve years on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.

...Americans have signed its petitions, and 21 Congressmen have drafted bills to ban subscription TV. So far, the proposed legislation has not stirred much interest on Capitol Hill. NATO's other resort is a suit in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia circuit contesting the authority of any FCC licensing...
