Reply #224: Judiciary Committee Chairperson 1987-1995. Look out Corrupt Bastards Club.

The one thing that stands out to me is this aspect of Biden's experience in the Senate.

Is this a powerful signal? Look out Bush criminals!

Judiciary Committee
Biden is a long-time member of the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary, which he chaired from 1987 until 1995 and served as ranking minority member from 1981 until 1987 and again from 1995 until 1997. In this capacity, he dealt with issues related to drug policy, crime prevention, and civil liberties. While chairman, Biden presided over two of the most contentious U.S. Supreme Court confirmation hearings: Robert Bork in 1987 and Clarence Thomas in 1991.
