Political career

For fourteen years after graduating, Hatch worked as an attorney at law in Pittsburgh and Utah. In 1976 in his first run for public office, he was elected to the United States Senate, defeating Democrat Frank Moss, a three-term incumbent. Among other issues, Hatch criticized Moss's 18-year tenure in the Senate, saying that many Senators, including Moss, had lost touch with their constituents.

Hatch has long expressed interest in serving on the US Supreme Court and he had been mentioned as a possible nominee after George W. Bush became president. But after the appointments of John Roberts and Samuel Alito, a potential appointment seems to be very unlikely. In the aftermath of the U.S. Attorney firing scandal, Orrin Hatch was mentioned in various news sources as a candidate to succeed Alberto Gonzales as United States Attorney General.

Actions in the Senate

Seated as 100th in seniority in January 1977, Hatch set about making his presence known through advocacy of conservative causes. That year he led the longest filibuster on a legislative issue in Senate history, taking the Labor Law Reform Act to a record six unsuccessful cloture votes (to end debate), killing the bill and earning Hatch a reputation as anti-labor. In the process, Hatch invented the "filibuster by amendment" tactic, proposing and filing more than 2,000 amendments to the bill, discouraging even supporters from supporting an end to the filibuster. As a form of obstructionism in a legislature or other decision making body, a filibuster is an attempt to extend debate upon a proposal in order to delay or completely prevent a vote on its passage. ...

After campaigning as the top surrogate for Ronald Reagan in the presidential campaign in 1980, Hatch was catapulted to the chairmanship of the Labor and Human Resources Committee when the Senate turned Republican on Reagan's coattails. Liberals feared what might happen, since the committee's jurisdiction covered labor, education and health. But while the Republicans held a majority on the committee, that majority included maverick Sen. Lowell Weicker, (R-CT), who would frequently vote with the Democrats. Unable to force legislation, Hatch developed a policy of frequent consultations with Ranking Democrat Edward Kennedy, and the committee became a hotbed of health legislation and reform on other issues. During this period Hatch won cooperation from Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA), on "orphan drug" legislation, and with Rep. Al Gore (D-TN), on organ transplant legislation. Hatch continued and expanded the anti-smoking work of Sen. Moss, expanding the warning labels on cigarette packages to four more-specific, rotating warnings. Hatch wrote and passed the Home Health Care Act, authorizing Medicare funds to provide health care to people in their homes rather than at hospitals, saving significantly on individual actions and expanding the reach of federal health care assistance. Hatch's collaborations with Kennedy would continue into the Clinton administration, with the two teaming up to push the State Children's Health Insurance Program into law in 1997.

Hatch's chief effect in education was persuading President Reagan to appoint fellow Utahn Terrel Bell as Secretary of Education. Bell proposed the Excellence in Education Commission whose report started education reform in the 1980s. Secretary of Labor Raymond Donovan was at odds with Hatch through much of Donovan's term, however, due to administration bobbling of FBI information during the confirmation hearings.

Hatch also worked to increase conservative influence in Washington by recruiting a top-flight staff that would provide candidates for other key administrative positions.

Stephens, future FDA Commissioner David Aaron Kessler, future Surgeon General Antonia Novello, future Health Care Finance Administration (HCFA) Director David N. Sundwall, and others.

Senator Orrin Hatch holds a press conference with Congressman Wayne Owens in March, 1989 as part of their successful charge to win passage of the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) which provides for ongoing compensation to Southern Utahns and others damaged by nuclear testing in the 1950s and 1960s.

During Hatch's first year in the Senate, 1977, reporter Gordon Eliot White of the Deseret News published the first of what would be a lengthy series of articles detailing government malfeasance in atmospheric testing of nuclear bombs at the Nevada Test Site. Over the next 13 years White's articles detailed how the government determined to proceed with the tests, and with mining and refining, without adequate safeguards for innocent citizens whose health would be damaged. Though Hatch feared an investigation would endanger the nation's nuclear deterrence versus the Soviet Union and the Peoples Republic of China, by 1979 he was pushing for hearings on the issue before the Senate Labor Committee. Hatch prevailed on Committee Chairman Ted Kennedy to hold field hearings in Utah in 1980. At the end of 1980, Hatch was positioned to chair the committee himself. Douglas Wayne Owens (born May 2, 1937-December 18, 2002) was a member of the United States House of Representatives for the second district of Utah from 1973 to 1975 and again from 1987 to 1993. ...

By 1984 Hatch had held a dozen hearings, passed legislation requiring scientific investigation of the injuries and had enlisted the aid of the National Science Foundation and National Cancer Institute, but still could not muster the votes to get a bill. When a vote was obtained in the Senate in 1985, it failed. Hatch's ferreting discovered a clause to pay at least $100 million to Marshall Islands injured similarly to Utah citizens, and Hatch took the treaty hostage. His hold on consideration of the treaty eventually got agreement from the Reagan administration to agree not to oppose radiation compensation for Utah citizens, but it still took another five years to get the bill through. The Radiation Compensation Act of 1990 provided compensation for citizens injured by radioactive fallout from the tests.

In 1980, Hatch spoke in favor of rolling back provisions of the Fair Housing Act. Acting on his motion in 1988, Congress eventually voted to weaken the ability of plaintiffs to prosecute cases of discriminatory treatment in housing. At the time the 1988 Fair Housing Amendments were being debated, he introduced a bill endorsed by the National Association of Realtors to severely limit who can file anti-discrimination suits and to make the proceedings a private affair. http://www. ...

Hatch caused an overnight controversy on June 17, 2003 by proposing that copyright owners should be able to destroy the computer equipment and information of those suspected of copyright infringement, including file sharing. In the face of criticism, especially from technology and privacy advocates, Hatch withdrew his suggestion days later, after it was discovered that Sen. Hatch's official website was using an unlicensed JavaScript menu from United Kingdom based software developer Milonic Solutions. Milonic founder Andy Woolley stated that "We've had no contact with them. They are in breach of our licensing terms."

In 2006 Hatch gave a controversial speech to the Utah Senate, stating that terrorists across the world were "waiting for the Democrats here to take control, let things cool off and then strike again."^[6] On April 12, 2007, rumors started circulating suggesting that Orrin Hatch may be named President George W. Bush's third Attorney General, should Alberto Gonzales resign over the U.S. Attorney firing dispute.^{[citation needed]}

Controversy

Senator Hatch legislated for dietary supplements to be governed outside of the realm of drugs and food additives. Utah, his constituency, is considered the "Silicon Valley" of the supplement industry. When the FDA was reviewing the adverse effects of ephedra, Hatch defended the supplement industry. Hatch's son was working for a lobbying firm at the time that represented interests in ephedra manufacturing.^[7] In 2005 Sen. Hatch had an ethics award revoked.^[8]

Senator Hatch ignored or refused open requests to participate in a series of debates.^[9] Democrat Pete Ashdown asked that all Senate candidates "visit all 29 counties" in Utah during the summer but Hatch opted instead for "a debate or two" and refuses to "do it to a ridiculous extreme."^[10] Hatch and Ashdown commenced this series of debates on October 11 at Tuacahn High School near St. George. Several days before the debate, radio hosts Shawn Ledingham and Justin Bowles of nearby Southern Utah University requested an interview with both candidates. The students, representing the university's public service program, the Rant and Raev Show, wished to allow students at the University an opportunity to hear the candidates' platforms. Both candidates agreed, although the interviews were conducted separately.

Musical career

Orrin Hatch sings and plays the piano, violin and organ. Fueled by his interest in poetry, Hatch also has written many songs for other artists. (On the advice of U2 frontman Bono, he has put several of the songs under a pen name, "because it's you, man.") He co-authored "Everything And More," sung by Billy Gilman. Some claim that his position in the file-sharing debate is a conflict of interest, as Sen.
