I also rise this evening to talk about the nomination of our colleague from Alabama, Senator Jeff Sessions, to serve as our next Attorney General. Like many of our colleagues, I have heard from an incredible number of people in my State…

thank you for your leadership on this issue, and God knows, how many others. You are a force of nature. I am happy to be with you on this day. I come from Delaware, and we have about a million people who live in Delaware, and they are not…
