Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey (Alex Brandon/AP)Later Wednesday, Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) will become the first sitting senator to testify against a fellow senator’s nomination for a Cabinet post, when he makes the case against confirming Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) as attorney general. [In Sessions hearing, ‘senatorial courtesy’ is lost in the tumult of Trump]Why did you decide to do this? For m,e to be silent in this moment in history, would be unacceptable to them and is unacceptable to me. I am really proud to have worked with Jeff Sessions on awarding that medal to those marchers. Our differences don’t undermine the places where we find commonality or the collegiality that we enjoy.
