Jeff Sessions

If Assange participated in violating the American law, then he is a person subject to prosecution and condemnation.

The President from on down should be crystal clear on this, and I haven't seen that.

I loved being a U.S. Attorney. Almost everybody that has held the job says it is the greatest job if you like law enforcement and trying to protect citizens and prosecuting criminals.

It is a difficult thing for a city to be sued by the Department of Justice and to be told that your police department is systematically failing to serve the people of the State or the city.

I just think that caution is always required in these cases.

Those decrees remain in force if and until and if they are changed. And they would be enforced.

Consent decrees have a profound effect on our legal system, as they constitute an end run around the democratic processes.

I believe Americans overwhelmingly honor that and should continue to honor it, and it would include Muslims for sure.

It would raise serious constitutional problems because the Constitution explicitly guarantees the right to free exercise of religion.

I do not believe we need a registration program for U.S. citizens who happen to be Muslim.

We did not give Miranda warnings to German and Japanese prisoners we captured.

I hope we do not read him his Miranda rights in 2 weeks.

We are talking about decades before we have a complete alteration of this spasm in the Middle East that just seems to have legs.

I would not receive it from Henry Hayes, I will tell you that. He no longer exists. So no, I would not take an award from the Klan.

I just feel like the reason I was pushing back is because I do not feel like it is right to judge me and require that I give back an award if I do not agree with every policy of an organization that gave the award.

I believe my views on immigration are correct, just, decent, and right.

I do not know that I defer to the Southern Poverty Law Center as the final authority on who is a radical group.

I do not accept that kind of language.

I believe the United States should have an immigration policy that is fair and objective and gives people from all over the world the right to apply.

If you take that position, you are not portrayed as being wrong on the Tribal issue; you are portrayed as being against a bill that would protect women from violence

The bill, as I understood it, was controversial primarily because of this situation in which a non-Tribal member could be tried in a Tribal court

I do believe you have to put the law first, Senator Crapo, and I have tried to do that.

You just have to do the right thing, and some of these others cases reflect the same thing.

I will, Senator Crapo. And I would note on the death penalty case, my appellate lawyers gave a little briefing of the cases that were coming up, and they said, 'We will be defending this death case, but we are probably going to lose.'

I think we should avoid surveillance of religious institutions unless there is a basis to believe that dangerous or threatening illegal activity could be carried on there.
