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