Guided
by the fundamental principle that all people are created
equal in the divine image and words of Leviticus, 19:18, love
your neighbor as yourself, we have worked to pass landmark
legislation that advances fundamental rights of all people,
regardless of race, class, sex, gender identity, sexual
orientation, or national origin. As the chief law enforcement
officer in the country, the Attorney General has substantial
power over the administration of these policies. They go on to write:
Senator Sessions' longstanding record of insufficient
commitment to voting rights, to LGBTQ equality, women's
rights, immigration reform, and religious freedom causes us
to believe that he would stand in the way of the Justice
Department's mandate to ensure equal protection under the
law. There are many other letters like this one from people who took a
thorough review of the record of the President's nominee to be Attorney
General. I would like to discuss something that has received a little bit less
attention regarding Senator Sessions' record, and that is what I
believe and what those who pay close attention to these issues believe
has been a poor record in support for individuals with disabilities.
