That is who the Attorney General needs
to be. The powerful never have a hard time finding somebody to
represent them in court, but the poor or oppressed or those who don't
have anybody else to stand up for them, they need a justice system that
will treat them fairly, and they need an Attorney General who will
embody that value. Three areas: civil rights, immigration, and torture. In the area of civil rights, Senator Sessions' record here as a
Senator has been troubling to me. In the past, when he was considered
for a judicial position, he declared that the voting rights laws were
``intrusive.''
He welcomed the ``good news'' when the Supreme Court in the last few
years struck down, in the Shelby County case, parts of the Voting
Rights Act.
