What did he actually accomplish as senator? Was he like most who talked a good game but ended up sending strongly worded letters?
The most Sessions accomplished as a senator was, as you anticipated, talk. He spoke against illegal immigration. With so many senators gung-ho for flooding the US with illegals, perhaps even the talking did some good. (Or not; who knows?)
Apart from that, I can’t name any of Sessions’ senatorial accomplishments. Perhaps someone from AL could...provided there are any.
I have noted elsewhere that Sessions lied straight up on the campaign trail. He said that Cruz singlehandedly prevented amnesty. Totally false. Amnesty passed with ease in the Senate, and would have passed in the House except for Brat’s upset win over Cantor.
Well, he did win the praise of Democrats.
