Arlen Specter: “We have had a number of efforts to bring the Federal Government into the bail picture.”

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.

I have every confidence that Jeff Sessions will execute the office of Attorney General honestly, faithfully, and fully in the pursuit of justice.

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.
