When it comes to the Bill of Rights generally. I have fought to protect the fifth amendment rights of aliens with respect to extradition under the Immigration Reform Act. I have fought to defend the sixth amendment right to a speedy trial. and I have fought to preserve the presumption of innocence under the Bail Reform Act of 1984.
