"Unacceptable"

Though Mr. Lillich said that he was not
happy with the choice of Mr. Powell, he said he
was in a way relieved that Mr. Powell was
chosen instead of the other five nominees that
the President was considering. "It's too bad
that he had to be placed sixth behind those
other bums."

"I am totally opposed to Rehnquist", said
Mr. Lillich. "Though he has the academic
background, he is unacceptable."

Mr. Lillich said that he felt that the position
Mr. Rehnquist has taken on such issues as wiretapping
and the D.C. Crime Bill have shown
him to be in support of recent government
moves to infringe upon individual's rights.

Mr. Rehnquist has in the past been in favor
of the liberal use of wiretapping, Mr. Lillich
said. Mr. Rehnquist also supported the D.C.
Crime Bill. The D.C. Crime Bill contains
provisions such as "No Knock" and
"Preventative Detention" he continued.
