DC Tom Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Is it? The only reasonable way to handle illegal immigration is to disincentivize it while incentivizing legal immigration. So yeah, idiotic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogblitz Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 (edited) In 1986, Sessions was Borked avant la lettre, with Ted Kennedy railing against his nomination for a federal judgeship with his usual grandiose lies about a throwback to a shameful era. The charges that Sessions was a racist were contemptible 30 years ago; the Democrats in the Senate and their media organs will only discredit themselves further by trying to recycle them now. Here ya go. Leading story. Big headline. Jeff Sessions Was Deemed Too Racist To Be A Federal Judge. He'll Now Be Trumps Attorney General. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-attorney-general-jeff-sessions-racist-remarks_us_582cd73ae4b099512f80c0c2?cn5id4ygk5rf9lik9 Edited November 18, 2016 by reddogblitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 THE NARRATIVE DEMANDS DISARRAY, THEREFORE DISARRAY SHALL BE REPORTED: On that precise point, the New York Times, in a widely circulated article, will describe this day at Trump Tower as a scene of “disarray” for the transition team. In fact, it’s all hands on: Mike Pence, the vice president-elect and transition chief, and Reince Priebus, the new chief of staff, shuttling between full conference rooms; Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and by many accounts his closest advisor, conferring in the halls; Sen. Jeff Sessions in and out of meetings on the transition team floor; Rudy Giuliani upstairs with Trump (overheard: “Is the boss meeting-meeting with Rudy or just shooting the ****?”), and Bannon with a long line of men and women outside his corner office. If this is disarray, it’s a peculiarly focused and organized kind. How about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Franklin Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share Posted November 19, 2016 (edited) The makeup of the Senate in 1986 was 55 Dems to 45 Reps. The Dems could do whatever they wanted. They were just practicing "Borking" for the following year. Sessions was denied by the judiciary committee controlled 10 to 8 Republican to Democrat. 2 Republicans voted against him. One, Specter, later said he regretted his vote to reject Sessions. Setting that history lesson aside, Trump is creating a cabinet with an onerous undertone to watch closely. Bannon is a horrible person to have near the presidency. Sessions is someone to watch closely if he survives his confirmation process.
