STATEMENT OF VICE PRESIDENT AL GORE
President Clinton has chosen an outstanding person in
nominating Martha Craig "Cissy" Daughtrey to the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. She is an excellent justice and a
good friend who I respect and admire professionally and
personally.
Cissy and I are long-time friends from Tennessee. She is
fair-minded, hard-working, and dedicated to the law and to the
integrity of the judicial system. As a lawyer, judge, university
professor, and the first woman justice on the state's Supreme
Court, Cissy has served Tennessee with distinction and honor.
She also is a dedicated wife and mother.
Cissy is a leader among her colleagues and in her community.
Throughout her career, she has made a determined effort to help
others, particularly through her work on court reform and to
promote women and minorities in the legal profession. Her career
also has been marked by many firsts: She was the first woman
prosecutor in Tennessee, the first woman tenure-track professor
at the Vanderbilt University Law School, and the first and only
woman to serve on the Tennessee Supreme Court.
To whatever she does, Cissy brings skill, intelligence,
determination, and compassion. For all of these reasons and
more, I believe Cissy will do an outstanding job as a judge on
the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. I am proud of
her accomplishments, and I strongly support her nomination.
