Arlen Specter: “It would be my preference to stack the votes, unless the Senator from West Virginia would like to have a vote now.”

Because I have since found that Senator Sessions is egalitarian.

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

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 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.
