I once sent a letter to Hatch when he was on the Judicial Committee and he voted for one of Clinton’s left wing appointees to the S.C., think it was Ginsburg.
I was a little upset because he said he had to vote for whom the President wanted, it was just fair. I was somewhat belligerent in my letter and called him a “spineless c-———r. He for some reason took offense at this and wrote me a personal letter, which I still have somewhere, framed. In it he said I was not a citizen of his state and basically to shut the he11 up among other things. Definitely not a form letter.
I have never really cared for Hatch and still am willing to call him what I did in the letter face to face. Wonder which list I am on or how many?

Ditto for me! I don’t live in Utah either, but I have relatives there. Hatch was really petulant in his letter to me too. He’s gets more thin-skinned with each passing year. FWIW, Hatch is the longest-serving member of the Senate today. At 36 years, he beats out Cochran and Leahy. When you add up the “years of service” of those in the Senate who are 70 or older (total of 26, with Fineswine being the oldest at 80). you get a total of 498 years! I submit to you that this IS the problem in the Senate. They think they are SCOTUS Justices and are entitled to die in office.
