We all want to
make sure bad people don't get here. But I think we also understand as
Americans that a religious test violates the principles of our Nation. Senator Leahy pointed out at Senator Sessions' confirmation hearing
that Senator Sessions opposed a resolution saying the United States
should not use religious tests for immigration into the country, that
they were antithetical to our founding principles. Nevertheless, when
it was time to be counted and stand up, Senator Sessions did not do
that. More recently, we heard President Trump criticize the Washington
State judge--and I see our leader, my friend Senator Murray, on the
floor.
