Arlen Specter: “That's pretty serious, I guess.”

Congressional legislation 'doesn't amount to anything if the president can say, 'My constitutional authority supersedes the statute.'

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.

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.
