I will honor and maintain those procedures at the Department of Justice.

I believe we have failed in dealing with criminal aliens.

I would be surprised if it is not public, and it should be available to the public.

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

Senator Sessions has sponsored or cosponsored a plethora of bills honoring significant civil rights leaders, events, icons.

I hope she, along with Chairman Grassley, will make sure that all of the Committee Members are thoroughly briefed and comfortable with the reauthorization of Section 702.

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

I have never testified with more optimism and enthusiasm than I do today for Senator Jeff Sessions.

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

I abhor the Klan and what it represents and its hateful ideology.

They would be enforced until there is an alteration of it, yes.

OLC does represent a key position in the Department of Justice.
