I hope so. If these leftists haven’t learned by the results of the last election that they won’t get allies by calling everyone who disagrees a racist, bigot, homophobe, xenophobe, islamophobe then let them suffer. Calling people names neither makes your point not changes their minds.
Rev. Hoagie® (785e38) — 11/18/2016 @ 8:42 amMy goodness,
I recall the racism chant by Schumer and company at Pickering,
even with Medgar Evers’ brother vouching for him.
they will make up anything if they can’t find something.
MD in Philly (f9371b) — 11/18/2016 @ 9:03 amSounds good to me. Need a border hawk in the position to enforce existing law.
NJRob (a07d2e) — 11/18/2016 @ 9:07 amI’m pretty sure Jeff Sessions has a race or two. That means he’s racist, right?
CayleyGraph (cab462) — 11/18/2016 @ 9:18 amHe will certainly be labeled a racial bigot when he fires all the racial bigots that holder & lynch brought in.

Pretty sure we’re supposed to cry havoc first.

Sammy Finkelman (83cfe1) — 11/18/2016 @ 10:17 amA good day indeed!
Colonel Haiku (61bdd9) — 11/18/2016 @ 10:39 amExcept that the AG is the one who enforces the law and declines to do the same.
That’s why so many illegals get to go free under this current criminal administration.
NJRob (a07d2e) — 11/18/2016 @ 11:05 amCall me underwhelmed. The 69 year old Sessions is not the sharpest knife in the drawer by a long shot. Nor does his slightly less than two years service as Alabama’s AG give him much in the way of experience for the job of draining the political swamp that has become the Department of Justice. Loading the career bureaucracy with people with political agendas began in earnest under Clinton an went into overdrive under Obama. Optics matter when the targets have a sympathetic media on their side. Mush mouth Jeff, with his occasionally close to undecipherable drawl, would be way down my list.

They can make prosecutions, but they don’t do much of that except when they want to make a show and it’s arbitrary. They got a lot of illegal people to plead guilty in one kabuki thing they did. Anybody who did becomesa a priority for deportation. Otherwise it’s all under Homeland Security.
No. The INS used to be part of DOJ, but ICE, and everything it does, is part of Homeland Security.
The FBI is under DOJ but has virtually nothing to do with immigration. ATF, though, although it was moved out of from Treasury as part of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, went to Justice, and not to Homeland Security.
Sammy Finkelman (be1929) — 11/18/2016 @ 11:34 amHe could have picked Loretta Lynch and the NY Times would have found problems.
Too bad about Sessions, though, I would rather have seen him as Senate Majority Leader.
Kevin M (25bbee) — 11/18/2016 @ 11:38 amBy the way, is anyone who wants all laws enforced disturbed over DOJ tolerance of state marijuana laws?
Now that’s something Sessions could get involved in (but probably won’t.) Maybe Congress actually will legalize the status quo. The Democrats weren’t interested in that enough.
It does cause problemms. Anybody using marijuana under state law is not legally allowed to purchse (or own I think) a gun if they answer the form truthfully.

Sammy Finkelman (be1929) — 11/18/2016 @ 11:39 amI think he could get bogged down into some non-immigration squirrels. Putting Paul Babeu at DHS (please, D. Clarke at best is either Capitol Police Chief or head of Park/Forest Rangers) might be a way of telling Jeff dont get ideas about avenging Kim Davis.
urbanleftbehind (5eecdb) — 11/18/2016 @ 11:43 amBest CNN banner of the day: “SOON: TRUMP DEPARTS FOR NEW JERSEY.”
Later tonight: “Trump leaves sofa; expected in bathroom shortly.”
DCSCA (797bc0) — 11/18/2016 @ 12:13 pmI don’t seem to remember all this coverage of previous transitions. Trump seems to attract media like flies to … well, like files.
Kevin M (25bbee) — 11/18/2016 @ 12:52 pmKevin @17. That’s true. Or at least, if there was coverage, and if you looked deep enough in New York Tmes or paid aenough attention to thie news, you would find it, it didn’t make headlines so much.
It’s the political concern about him that’s doing this.
Nixon announced his Cabinet all at once, on about December 1, 1968. He said they all had “an extra dimension” I still remember that.

Colonel Haiku (61bdd9) — 11/18/2016 @ 1:27 pmThats just the thing, a true southerner would never be allowed to win the nomination, thus Trump became the vessel for that to happen.
urbanleftbehind (5eecdb) — 11/18/2016 @ 1:39 pmWell they dialed to eleventh over ashcroft, who was a Yale law educated evangelical, and they played confederate card against him.
narciso (d1f714) — 11/18/2016 @ 2:30 pmVery good, Colonel.
ThOR (c9324e) — 11/18/2016 @ 2:36 pmMy positronic brain makes these connections, nothing is new except the level of mind arson.
narciso (d1f714) — 11/18/2016 @ 2:36 pmNC Mountain Girl,
Whom do you prefer as AG; Sessions or Loretta Lynch?
Cruz Supporter (102c9a) — 11/18/2016 @ 2:40 pmOMG. Watch Pompeo grilling Hillary during the House Benghazi hearing.

elissa (ead691) — 11/18/2016 @ 3:02 pmIf someone had told you two years ago (right after the 2014 election) that the winner of the 2016 presidential election would appoint Jeff Sessions Attorney General, would you be pleased?

SoS William P. Rogers was essentially a figurehead in that bunch, too. The Big Dick and ‘Superkraut’ (as a book from the era aptly labeled HK) essentially shaped and ran foreign policy from the Oval. Expecting a similar set up by Trump.
Romney is embarrassing himself as cheaply as Tedtoo and will never even be offered the state gig let alone work for someone like Trump. But humiliating the Mormon has to be a trip for the Presbyterian President-elect.

ah Kissinger in retrospect, I wasn’t that impressed by, chile was a good move, the china embrace, also gave us the Khmer rouge, and nk can speak of the athenean matter, east timor was probably one step too far,
narciso (d1f714) — 11/18/2016 @ 4:37 pm@29- “Vee believe dat peece iz dat hand.” ‘Nuff said.
DCSCA (797bc0) — 11/18/2016 @ 4:45 pmand yet he didn’t continue to put pressure on the nva, but Watergate probably had a little to do with it,
narciso (d1f714) — 11/18/2016 @ 5:01 pmNot that it was much of a psychic prediction, but Politico is piggy-backing on my prediction that there was about to be a mass exodus from DOJ’s Civil Rights Division over the AG nominee.
