Ben Cardin: “I think Senator Sessions is absolutely right”

I introduced the Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act as a way of saying that we will hold abusers accountable even if their own country does not.

We are going to do something about this.

If we are going to carry this as a value on the international stage, that the United States stands up for human rights and certain values and the rule of law, is it not important that we be willing to apply these sanctions to accomplish…

Why do we not widen this piece of legislation out so it includes all human rights abusers in Russia?
