Senate Democrats are poised to throw away 20 years of friendship and a bipartisan working relationship with Sen. Jeff Sessions to wreak political vengeance on him this week as they consider his nomination for attorney general.
Highlighting the deep partisan divide and the bad blood between Democratic lawmakers and President-elect Donald Trump, the same senators who have socialized and co-authored reams of legislation with Mr. Sessions are under pressure from liberal interest groups to air accusations that he is a racist, a sexist and a homophobe.
Mr. Sessions, who has held an Alabama seat in the Senate since 1997 and has served as the state’s attorney general and as a U.S. attorney, is expected to win confirmation from his colleagues, including support from several Democrats. But it won’t be pretty.

That's what they're afraid of.
Once again we see the real rats and thier agenda, F them all crush them all where they stand
What? The Democrats are not going to “reach across the aisle”??? Shocking!
The LAW is like kryptonite to a lefty.
Yawn...Kabuki.
Spot on!
It’s great that Sessions will be our AG.
Sounds like Obama is in charge and the Dems are about to lose a ton more seats
It is time for a target character assault on one of the Dems, a coordinated campaign to paint one of them as a racist.
It’s what the people who hold purse strings and FBI files are afraid of. As their puppets they would turn on their own mothers
Exactly what one expects of the left - they profess their love for humanity, yet hate individual human beings no matter how decent if they stand in the way of their agenda.
Jackass party meat puppets.
I’ve never understood how there can be actual “friendships” in politics.
But thanks to Harry Reid, getting him confirmed will be much easier.
The fake indian would be a good place to start.
Drinking buddies .....
Harry Reid will be indicted for bribery and racketeering if Sessions makes it past the gauntlet. So yes this will get ugly.
They must hold a grudge over the prosecution of KKK members.
