As I explained it in our Judiciary Committee markup last week, I have
disagreed with Senator Sessions not just 1 or 2 times but on many, many
occasions and not just on a few isolated issues that are only
tangentially related to something important to me but on circumstances
and issues that are very important to me and that are at the center of
my legislative agenda. We have disagreed, for example, about sentencing
reform. We have disagreed about immigration reform, and several
important national security issues implicating constitutional law, and
constitutional policy. All of these issues are very important to both
of us--to me and to Senator Sessions. They can be emotional issues, and
they happen to be issues on which Senator Sessions and I disagree, not
just a little bit, but we happen to disagree taking almost
diametrically opposed positions in many of these areas.
