"We are a nation of laws."

I've already explained that I wasn't saying he should ignore the law as it currently stands, but was concerned that his use of the phrase "settled law" suggested that these horrible cases can never be reviewed - and perhaps overturned - by the proper authorities (the Supreme Court).

Yes. I like Senator Sessions’ answers in this hearing. It is very obvious that he sees the clear separation of powers between the legislative branch and the executive branch—and the difference between the ability to create laws and responsibility of the Justice Department to enforce those laws (and not make them). The Democrats asking questions about which laws he will enforce and what laws Sessions will change are showing their extreme ignorance. THEY ARE THE ONES of govern using activist judges and a partisan Attorney General’s office!

He is a principled man, and is doing so well in this hearing because of that. When you are clear why you believe in something and have lived your life by those principles, your actions and beliefs are not hard to defend.

Both were ‘settled’ by the USSC.
