Jeff Sessions to take over Senate panel overseeing immigration (with Vitter)

Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), one of the most relentless critics of the Obama administration’s immigration directives, is taking over the Senate’s panel that oversees immigration, according to three sources familiar with the decision.

Sessions is set to assume the chairmanship of the Senate Subcommittee on Immigration, Refugees and Border Security, according to the sources — giving the conservative a key platform to advance his immigration policies. Sen. David Vitter (R-La.), a new member of the Judiciary Committee, is going to be the panel’s vice chair, the sources said.

Jeff Sessions, Vitter and Steve King are easily the best 3 and most informed on the issue in congress.

Vitter also has to run for Governor with conservatives worried about his Common Core flip flop. Keep in mind Jindal's opposition to Common Core is total BS and Vitter was calling him out on the flip flop. Vitter's a Rhodes Scholar and he knows pandering on amnesty is stupid.

Lamar Smith is good but he doesn't throw bombs like Vitter or Steve King. Smith was tenure limited as Chairman and King was not promoted by Boehner and Cantor.

"I don’t remember the surprisingly nice answers, but on the S.O.B. factor the senator’s response was immediate: David Vitter.

He’s a nasty piece of work, the junior senator from Louisiana. He doesn’t seem to like anybody. He loathes senior senator Mary Landrieu, he detests Governor Bobby Jindal, he despises the media. They all pretty much hate him back. And yet, by merely announcing, he immediately became the odds-on favorite to win the governor’s race in 2015. "
