Rush was talking about this today, that Sessions would fight against funding Obie’s immigration fiasco.
GOP Senate Leadership Pushes Sessions Out of Budget Chairmanship?
....Jeff Sessions is the chairman of the Budget Committee in the Senate. Jeff Sessions is also the most eloquent, consistent, outspoken critic of illegal immigration, amnesty. He is writing op-eds. He is delivering effective speeches from the floor of the Senate. He’s just all over. He has been tireless in his characterization of the danger that this portends to the country, to the future. In a way, Jeff Sessions has actually been a lone voice in the Senate. There have been others, of course. Ted Cruz comes to mind, and Mike Lee.
Well, the other bit of news today is that the Republican leadership in the Senate wants to kick Sessions off the budget committee and take the chairmanship away from him and give it to Mike Enzi of Wyoming. And if that happens, that pretty much tells us everything we need to know about what’s going to happen with the Republicans in the Senate.
If the most effective, the most tireless, the most committed, the most eloquent anti-amnesty spokesman in the Senate is to be removed from his Budget Committee chairmanship — that is where the power of the purse would be used. And it would obviously be assumed that Sessions would be in favor of denying the administration the money necessary to implement this amnesty.
So the story is out there that they want to get rid of Sessions and remove him from the Budget Committee chairmanship and put Mike Enzi in there. Mike Enzi is a nice guy, but he’s not a babbler. So if the leadership wants to get Sessions out of the way — and again, it’s just a news story. I’ll get the source for you here as soon as I take the break. That alone tells you where the Republican leadership mind-set is on this.
If this happens....we have all of our suspicions about Bonehead and McConnell confirmed. This would be an atrocity.
