Jeff Sessions actually said...

"I believe Congress has a duty to defend its legitimate constitutional powers."

"I do not see any need for this Congress to confirm somebody to be the chief law enforcement officer of this Nation who is at that table insisting that she intends to execute a policy that is contrary ..."

"It seems to me that they are arguing that 'take care that the laws be executed' means you have to do the best you can to enforce the laws under the circumstances."

"the reputation of this great Department is being eroded."
