Arlen Specter: “Are you not in a position, knowing that, to impose a sanction if one is appropriate?”

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

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

Because I have since found that Senator Sessions is egalitarian.

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.
