## Transcript

I've worked closely with many of you on this panel on both sides of the dias on matters related to criminal justice reform. And you know just how deeply motivated I am by the many issues our next Attorney General will heavily influence. Especially the crisis of mass incarceration. I know that some of my many colleagues aren't happy that I am breaking with Senate tradition to testify on the nomination of one of my colleagues. But I believe, like perhaps all of my colleagues in the Senate, that in the choice between standing with Senate norms or standing up for what my conscience tells me is best for our country I will always choose conscious and country.

If confirms in our sessions will be required to sue justice for women but his records indicates that he wont. He will be expected to defend the equal rights of gay and **** and transgender Americans but his record indicates that he won't. He will be expected to defend voting rights, but his record indicates that he won't. He will be expected to defend the rights of immigrants and affirm their human dignity, but the record indicates that he won't. His record indicates that we cannot count on him to support state and national effort towards bringing justice to the justice system. And people on both sides of the aisle who literally admit that the justice system as it stands now is biased against the poll, against drug addicted, against mentally ill, and against people of color.

I want an Attorney General who is committed to supporting law enforcement and securing law and order but that is not enough. America was founded heralding, not law and order, but justice for all, and critical to that is equal justice under the law. Law and order without justice in unattainable. They are inextricably tied together. If there is no justice there is no peace.
