Arlen Specter: “The legislature, the Congress, had better get busy and it better act on this subject so we do not await court action”

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

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.

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