Jeff Sessions actually said...

"agencies oftentimes see themselves as independent fiefdoms."

"The Solicitor General... has a duty, the Department of Justice does, to defend the laws passed by this body, by Congress."

"I do, too, Senator Hatch. Some people--I do not think it would be hard for me to be impartial and to enforce laws that I did not vote for."

"Well, Attorney General Mukasey, who I think is still here--yes, and I am honored to have him here today."
