Arlen Specter: “I am not asking you how you would decide the case, but wouldn't you agree that the Supreme Court should have taken that…”

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

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

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.

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.
