BACKGROUND
Chambliss served four terms in the House of Representatives before he defeated Senator Max Cleland in 2002 in a controversial campaign in which TV ads depicted Cleland, who lost 3 limbs in Vietnam, alongside Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. He serves on several Senate committees, including Armed Services, Agriculture, Judiciary, Rules and the Select Committee on Intelligence. Chambliss chairs a Judiciary subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security and Citizenship.

PREMISE OF THE SUIT
Diamonds are members of the U.S. Senate. There are two Senators for each state in the union, regardless of population. After working out differences in conference with House, the Senate passes the legislation that becomes the "law of the land." The most powerful Senators are the majority leadership and the committee chairs, which are always members of the majority party. Chairmen of the subcommittees of Appropriations are known as 'Cardinals' due to the power they wield over the allocation of federal funds. Senators serve for six-year terms and are in power because you voted for them.
