Senator Specter cited just one. It was his vote against confirming Jeff Sessions as a Federal judge.

I cannot applaud Rutland enough, because we had a similar hearing a few years ago when Senator Arlen Specter and I were here, and that shaped a number of federal programs for the better because of what we heard from you.
