Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Monday lit into federal judges for what he called a dramatic uptick in “outrageous” decisions threatening to interfere with the separation of powers by exposing internal White House deliberations.
In a fiery speech to the conservative Heritage Foundation in Washington, Sessions warned that “once we go down this road in American government, there is no turning back.” He vowed to take “these discovery fights to the Supreme Court in emergency postures. … We intend to fight this, and we intend to win.”
Sessions specifically singled out New York district court judge Jesse M. Furman, who ruled that Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross could be questioned in a lawsuit concerning how a citizenship question was added to the 2020 census, despite longstanding statutory provisions that protect certain executive branch discussions from disclosure, in a manner similar to conversations between attorneys and their clients.
Furman wants “to hold a trial over the inner workings of a Cabinet secretary’s mind,” Sessions said.

Snip --- The attorney general blamed Obama for encouraging that approach. “One argument for activism was advocated openly by President Obama when he declared his judicial nominees must judge with ’empathy.’ It is a seductive argument. But whatever empathy is, it’s more akin to emotion, bias, and politics than law,” Sessions said.

Jeff Sessions Vows ‘Emergency’ Supreme Court Battle … Slams ‘Activist Federal Judges’ For Anti-Trump Bias
Well, start impeaching. You are the Congress.
Just trying to keep his job after the election. If I were Trump I’d tell him you’re fired!
“Impeaching” is not possible because of 48 Democratic Senators.
Reversals and dismissals are possible now that the Supreme Court is back on its Constitutional track.

A lot of the doubters around here want to "hold a trial over the inner workings of" Jeff Sessions' mind.
Strange days.
“Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States...
“Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed.”
That’s the answer every federal judge should know.
This keebler elf will go down in post American history as the most monumental rat bastard traitor that ever lived.

I missed this on the same subject ...........
The Senate TRIES impeachments, it does not impeach.
I think he got the vibe from Trump he’s fired after the midterms and just saying stupid sh*t to save his job..
“If I were Trump I’d tell him you’re fired!”
Sessions is a fine man trying to get work done.
Rosenstein got his job from Trump.
“President Donald Trump nominated Rosenstein to serve as Deputy Attorney General for the United States Department of Justice on February 1, 2017. Rosenstein was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on April 25, 2017.”

“The Senate TRIES impeachments, it does not impeach.”
Yup, and it has 48 Democratic no votes for every impeachment the Republican-run House would authorize.
The House shouldn’t waste time wasting the Senate’s time.
If the Democrats won’t impeach a criminal liar, then they certainly wouldn’t impeach a leftist activist judge.
Wrong, dilburt. Sessions chose RR as his DAG. Sessions recused himself in the face of a ‘russian collusion’ hoax. Single-handily giving it legitimacy. His hand chosen DAG then appoints a special counsel coup to go after Trump(no evidence of a crime)
It was all orchestrated and that southern fried RAT F-—ing BASTARD was in on it from the get-go. That’s why he’s defended his good buddy RR from attacks and hasn’t unrecused himself. Most sane people have known this for well over a year now.
So Trump made two mistakes! No time like the present to take “corrective action!”
And FWIW, Sessions is NOT a fine man, he’s a disgrace! Trump is “killing time” by working it to death. Sessions is just killing time sleeping on the job!
“Most sane people have known this for well over a year now.”
Yes, and it mystifies me how anyone who has the presence of mind to be on FR could reach any conclusion but the one you’ve outlined.
“most monumental rat bastard traitor that ever lived”
There’s lots of competition for that title, unfortunately.
The name Earl Warren comes to my mind.
A certain naval aviator is hot on his tail.
Clarence Thomas has mentioned these national injunctions by district judges as something that needs to be dealt with in a few opinions now... and given that no such thing as a district court issuing a national injunction didn’t happen until about 50 years ago, he’s absolutely right.
The USSC needs to hear a case on these things directly, and declare once and for all that ONLY the supreme court itself has the power to issue national orders in the courts.
The venue shopping in the federal courts has to end.
Jeff Sessions, Attorney General?
“Sessions recused himself in the face of a ‘russian collusion’ hoax. Single-handily giving it legitimacy.”
You got the hoax part 100% right.
Nothing could ever give it legitimacy.
Sessions was required by regulation to recuse himself.
