WORTH QUOTING – “It’s time for Sen. [Jeff] Sessions to step up to the plate and show some leadership. Even before the nomination was announced, the Republicans were already gearing up to oppose any name that comes before them. He has to set a standard as the ranking Republican member of the committee.” Bryan Fair, professor of constitutional law at UA, as quoted in a Tuscaloosa News article about the nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court.
