They're still fighting the Civil War.

They want blacks to be put in their place.

Obama and Loretta Lynch are just too uppity for people like Jefferson Beauregard Sessions.

The south shall rise again!

Sessions voted for Holder in 2009. Plenty to be annoyed at him for without making up new ones.

I got his name right. He did announce his intent to vote against Ms. Lynch. I then asked who was surprised by his statement. Perhaps you can point out my fabrication.
(And you've been here long enough to know that "unrec" was an unmitigated disaster which was promptly shit-canned.)

...even though, as I pointed out, Sessions voted for Holder. Ditto Anthony Foxx.

The good senator was denied a federal judgeship...so he decided to run for office, and the low brow, knuckle dragging voters of Alabama thought it was a grand idea!

So, now we the people are stuck with a man who has a chip on his shoulder the size of a redwood tree...and his time has been filled with seeking revenge against the very body that felt he was too much of a racist to be a federal judge.

But, as I stated...we must thank the low brow, knuckle dragging voters of Alabama for this petulant whiner!

Not a factor - no reason to try to make it one.

WASHINGTON—U.S. Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL), Chairman of the Senate Immigration Subcommittee, issued the following statement after the conclusion of today’s Judiciary hearing to announce that he would vote against the nomination of Loretta Lynch to be the next Attorney General:

“President Obama’s executive amnesty represents one of the most breathtaking exertions of executive power in the history of this country. After Congress rejected the President’s favored immigration legislation, the White House met with the interest groups who had crafted that bill and implemented the major provisions of the legislation that Congress had rejected through executive fiat.

The legal opinion attempting to justify this circumvention of Congress was issued by the Attorney General’s Office of Legal Counsel. At the outset of this nomination process, I said that no Senator should vote to confirm anyone for this position—the top law enforcement job in America—who supported the President’s unlawful actions. Congress must defend its constitutional role, which is clearly threatened.

Her race is not a factor.

Whether you think his policy with respect to immigration is racist would be something other than what the OP is referencing.

President who espoused the same views, Jeffy-boy would jump in line in a heartbeat.
See, I can also put forth my opinion and declare it to be a fact.

I'd respectfully disagree with that claim.

simply decline to label the President's executive actions "illegal"?
If a Republican nominee refused to call a Republican President's executive actions, signing statements, etc, a violation of the law, do you honestly think Sessions would vote against them?
If so, then you perceive him to be WAY more principled than do I.

The entire immigration issue is all about race. Republicans just don't want brown people coming into America. It isn't just immigration because America is a nation of Immigrants. It is about brown people.. PERIOD

Most of the people who get arrested and jailed are young men of color. You do the math.

I am sadly with that racist fuck. I don't really care how she is shown the door as long as it is shown to her.

voted against Condololeeza Rice, the first African-American woman ever nominated to serve as Secretary of State of the United States.

Equally outrageous?

Just get up off the ground, that's all I ask. Get up there with that lady that's up on top of this Capitol dome, that lady that stands for liberty. Take a look at this country through her eyes if you really want to see something. And you won't just see scenery; you'll see the whole parade of what Man's carved out for himself, after centuries of fighting. Fighting for something better than just jungle law, fighting so's he can stand on his own two feet, free and decent, like he was created, no matter what his race, color, or creed.
