Arlen Specter: “Your Department nor this oversight committee is in a position to make that kind of an intensive investigation.”

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

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

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.
