Arlen Specter: “We call it a correctional system, but we all know it doesn't correct.”

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.

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

We are trying to make sure that we have maximum impact in the places that could use the money the most.
