Sen. Cory Booker Takes Historic Stand Against Sessions Confirmation
Democratic Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey is breaking a longstanding tradition by testify against a fellow sitting senator, Jeff Sessions, for a Cabinet post during a confirmation. Sessions is President-elect Donald Trump's US attorney general nominee. Sen. Booker noted these are extraordinary times and they call for extraordinary measures. He is joined by civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis (D-Georgia) and Rep. Cedric Richmond, D-Louisiana, chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, who also are testifying against Sessions during his confirmation hearings.
