Pete Sessions: “I will say, I was down here to speak on the Estrada nomination. I think the individuals who oppose him say they want to…”

“I will say, I was down here to speak on the Estrada nomination. I think the individuals who oppose him say they want to talk about it. I would like to hear what they have to say. This morning there is nobody down from the other side, the opposition, to speak against him. I don't know what they could say if they came. So it is frustrating to me. I know the Senator has some issues she cares about deeply and wants to talk. I suppose that is appropriate at this time, although in reality I think we ought to be engaged in a debate about this nomination and why it should be held up, why he does not qualify for the bench, and why there is something wrong with an individual who was given the highest possible rating, unanimously, by the American Bar Association. Having said that, I withdraw my objection to the unanimous consent request.”
