In his introduction to the Committee on the Judiciary hearing to confirm Sen. Jeff Sessions for Attorney General, Sen. Chuck Grassley — who chairs the committee — praised the Alabama Senator for his judicial background Tuesday.

Grassley had very good things to say about Sessions during his lengthy introduction, referring to his many years of experience serving on the Judiciary Committee itself, as well as his role serving as the Alabama Attorney General.

“Every Member of this Committee knows from experience that, in his new role, Senator Sessions will be a leader for law and order administered without regard to person,” Grassley stated during his introduction.

“Most of all, the members of this committee know him to be a leader who has served the people of Alabama-and all Americans-with integrity, dedication, and courage.”

“Just as he respects Congress’ duly enacted laws, Senator Sessions knows and respects the importance of an independent Attorney General at the department’s helm,” Grassley concluded. “When he has questioned other candidates for the office of Attorney General, he has made plain the priority of an Attorney General’s independence.”

“I look forward to hearing from Senator Sessions on how he will transition from voting on policy matters to enforcing the laws he has labored so long to improve and sustain.”
