Roe v. Wade is firmly ensconced as the law of the land, and I do not know if we would see a change in that.
Jeff Sessions
The Public Record
Jeff Sessions is an American politician and lawyer who served as the 84th Attorney General of the United States from 2017 to 2018. A member of the Republican Party, he was previously a U.S. Senator from Alabama from 2007 to 2017. During his tenure in the Senate, Sessions was known for his strong stance on immigration and law enforcement issues, advocating for stricter immigration policies and supporting various measures to combat drug trafficking and crime. He also served as the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Alabama from 2001 to 2002.
I do believe you have to put the law first, Senator Crapo, and I have tried to do that.
I believed these crack cocaine laws were too harsh and particularly it was disadvantageous to the African-American community.
I do not favor personally this kind of work. I think it should be more productive work.
But the Attorney General's duty is to give the best judgment that the Attorney General can give.
The first and foremost goal, I think, of law enforcement would be to identify persons who are dangerous, who have a tendency or have been proven to be lawbreakers and been convicted.
I have not said that the woman's right to choose or that Roe v. Wade and its progeny is not the law of the land.
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 would be surprised if it is not public, and it should be available to the public.
I have no hesitation to enforce antitrust law. I have no hesitation, if the finding justifies it, to say that certain mergers should not occur, and there will not be political influence in that process.
Mr. Chairman, fundamentally, I believe that it would not end the lawlessness, and it would grant amnesty.
I think that is a very dubious practice. I would be cautious about it, and we would have to make sure it is justified.
I believe the proper thing for me to do would be to recuse myself from any questions involving those kinds of investigations that involve Secretary Clinton.
I believe Americans overwhelmingly honor that and should continue to honor it, and it would include Muslims for sure.
We could work out a lot more of these issues rather than having the heavy hand of the Federal litigation system come to play into forcing compliance by States.
It would raise serious constitutional problems because the Constitution explicitly guarantees the right to free exercise of religion.
