I have great respect for Senator Sessions, but he has been a
chief opponent of making the gun laws of this country more amenable to
proper and appropriate and efficient enforcement, and that is not going
to change when he becomes Attorney General. So I am going to vote against his nomination later today, and I
encourage my colleagues to do so as well. His record on civil rights,
on criminal justice, on immigration, and on gun policy do not qualify
him to be Attorney General. I am deeply sad about what happened here last night with respect to
the letter read into the Record by Senator Warren. I understand that
things seem to be breaking down a little bit in this Chamber, that
nerves are frayed and people are acting in ways that maybe they
wouldn't have acted a few years ago.
