Arlen Specter: “I heard there was a lot of enthusiasm for it.”

Well, you are the Senate. You decide how to proceed.

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.

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