Richard Blumenthal actually said...

Senator Blumenthal is certainly to be praised for the priority he is placing on this Nation's veterans.

Thank you very much, Judge Scola. Let me say by way of preface, to each of you, thank you for being willing to take on this responsibility.

I believe that before serving on the bench, you were a defense attorney and a prosecutor for various periods of time. Is that true?

You will be, if confirmed, the face and voice of justice for countless individuals who will come before you.
