During today’s Judiciary Committee hearing on the 9/11 trials, terrorism and the Fort Hood shootings, Sens. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Jeff Sessions (R-AL) finally settled an old score.
After Sessions cited Civil War Gen. Ulysses S. Grant in his opening remarks, Leahy said, “I must admit, Sen. Sessions, that I’m delighted to hear someone from Alabama quote, approvingly, Ulysses S. Grant and Abraham Lincoln. The world has come full circle.”
“And they were winners, too,” Sessions responded.
“Well, I appreciate that acknowledgment too,” Leahy said. “We probably best leave this one alone.”
