As the Senate Judiciary Committee prepares to vote on the judicial nomination of William Pryor, Bill Moyers produces a one-sided segment for his “NOW” PBS program on the nomination. On the program, which aired nationwide last night (transcript here), Senator Schumer gets in all his licks, but there is no mention of Pryor’s broad, bipartisan support in Alabama, the endorsements he’s received from Democratic state AGs, or his efforts to end vestiges of racial discrimination in Alabama. Worse, for a purportedly “educational” program subsidized by taxpayers, there is absolutely no effort to explain or elucidate the legal reasoning behind Pryor’s positions.
