Arlen Specter: “What happens to the person who has skipped bail? Is there an additional penalty, an additional charge?”

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

Because it is so important for the public to know how its Government functions, and because the Supreme Court affects the lives of Americans in such great detail.

I believe that if the Court were televised, there would be an understanding and an accountability.

The reason we serve is to ensure our children and our children's children inherit the same great country that we received from those who went before us.
