New York Times Runs Front-Page Ad for Jeff Sessions
Read more at: http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/443703/jeff-sessions-new-york-times
I didn’t think I could be more favorably disposed toward Senator Jeff Sessions’s nomination as attorney general until I read today’s front-page New York Times profile, published in anticipation of tomorrow’s confirmation hearing.
Corey Booker, No Longer ‘Mr. Bipartisan’
It looks like New Jersey Senator Corey Booker is interested in running for president in 2020. That’s the easiest way to explain a guy whose initial reputation in politics was “Mr. Bipartisan” throwing himself onto the tracks of an oncoming train of an all-but-certain confirmation:
Democratic Sen. Cory Booker is set to testify against Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions Wednesday in an unprecedented move during his attorney general confirmation.
This would be the first time in Senate history that a sitting senator will testify against another sitting senator for a Cabinet post during a confirmation.
“I do not take lightly the decision to testify against a Senate colleague,” Booker said. “But the immense powers of the attorney general combined with the deeply troubling views of this nominee is a call to conscience.”

 

 

Of course, it wasn’t that long ago that Sessions and Booker got along pretty well. Back in 2015, the pair introduced legislation to award the Congressional Gold Medal to participants of the 1965 march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama.

So Republicans rejected him in the 80's as too racist to be a judge but now he's going to be attorney general? Will he wear his Klan robes to the nomination hearings?

WASHINGTON — A group of black pastors Monday criticized African-American opponents of attorney general nominee Sen. Jeff Sessions for demonizing the Alabama Republican, instead characterizing him as someone who shows “respect and care for people of all races.”

Since they've lived under the white man's oppression, black people don't know what's best for themselves.

 

The evil white oppressors have to make amends by reaching down to help the black man by telling him what's good for him.

More "fairness"

 

Why exactly did protesters and senators ask Jeff Sessions peculiar questions?

 

Because they yield headlines such as this one.

Fortunately.............SEN. SESSIONS IS BREEZING THROUGH HIS CONFIRMATION HEARING

 

But does it matter ?

 

As reported earlier, Jeff Sessions waltzed through his confirmation hearing today. The Democrats’ questioning was desultory, and none of the Democratic Senators laid a glove on the nominee. Only the inept Al Franken even tried. As Byron York put it, the anticipated “showdown fizzle[d].”

But perhaps the Democrats had the last laugh. All they had to do was send their talking points to the television networks, and they got the stories they were looking for, without having to deliver anything in the actual hearing.

Has Obama every denied KKK sympathies?

 

I want someone to run a headline "President Obama Does Not Deny KKK Sympathies."

Fellow senator Cory Booker breaks with tradition and testifies against Sessions, but this has absolutely nothing to do with an attempt to catapult himself into the celebrity ranks of the Democrat party.
