Jeff Sessions

I am glad that the entire Nation seems to be giving priority to this.

It has been very disappointing and painful to have it suggested that I thought the Klan was okay.

That is essentially correct, yes.

Tell me what you need and you'll have it.

I think it is, yes. That is exactly what I intended to do.

I do not deny that we have global warming. In fact, the theory of it always struck me as plausible.

The ideal of truth in trying to achieve the right solution to me is an important goal of the American jurisprudential system.

I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.

But to target people, and to any way demean them, if they were fine public servants and they were following the law, and carrying out a legitimate policy of their supervisors, would be wrong and I think we should respect them.

The Department of Justice is composed primarily of career professionals, as you know, Senator Whitehouse.

The American people have no desire, and they absolutely should not have their money sent to Washington and then be wasted.

I believe that any responsible public official should recognize that when their own Inspector General says that their department is not performing according to high standards, they should listen to that report and take action and review…

I do believe the Second Amendment is a personal right. It is a historic right of the American people and the Constitution protects it.

I think those of us in high public office do need to be cautious about demeaning whole departments and whole groups of people.

I want to adhere to high standards.

I believe that is so.

I would enforce the law, yes.

It does appear to be clear that the last Act, the McCain Amendment, would prohibit waterboarding.

A citizen of the United States has certain important rights. They cannot be abrogated.

Classically, the answer is yes.

I am honored to have your support, Senator Hatch.

I commit to you I will do that.

Yes, I do believe that I have conducted myself according to principles that I think are valid and try to be consistent and honest in my evaluation.

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.

That is the core responsibility of the Attorney General, absolutely.
