Senator Sessions is not among that crowd of cronies. He is a true Patriot, and is aligned with what constitutes the remaining spine of the conservatives in the Senate. Not a McConnell man. Recall that McConnell pointedly steered a non-Judiciary committee member “seniority” lacky to take the chairmanship of the Senate Judiciary Committee from Sessions as the ranking Republican in the old Senate, because of Sessions stance against the lame duck cromnibus McConnell wanted passed, fast before the new blood Senators sweeping the elections came into 2015. He paid for this by losing the chairmanship.
Sessions was one of 25 senators to oppose the establishment of TARP. He has opposed the Democratic leadership since 2007 on most major legislation, including the stimulus bill, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell Repeal Act. When he was the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, he opposed both of President Barack Obama’s nominees for the Supreme Court.
He is not shy about his conservative beliefs and backs it up with action. Deo Vindice.
Sessions is a true patriot and has been fighting for us for tears, long after those like Tancredo and Hunter gave up and went home.
God bless, Sen Sessions!
