Miss Lindsey needs to go to the other side of the aisle. It’s sorry when a GOP Senator is rougher on the candidate than the opposition party.

Turban Durbin up now. Might have to turn it off.

Holder and Lynch conveniently forgot about "SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED."

I think people confuse us judges with us attorneys.
When Clinton came into office he fired every US Attorney appointed by Republicans. He did this through his attorney general. I think there were almost 100.

When Bush was elected his base expected him to do the same. Instead he largely left all of Clinton’s appointees in place.

Right, two New Black Panthers with bats outside a voting station was OK under Obama.

That’s not how he conducted himself. If you’re watching it was quite clear he was being extremely sarcastic and quite effective of his Demonrat collegues and fully supportive of Sessions. When someone does right call it out and not critical just because he is a worm. I don’t want others who aren’t watching this to get incorrect news about his stance reading these comments

Reporters tweeting Khizr Khan is in the audience LOL! Khan’s a lot less than they think he is. He could hardly be less significant. A ineffective ‘comic-relief’ character.

This years Cindy Sheehan...

Well, I have to give it to Ted Cruz. He’s ripping the hypocritical RAT Senators a new one.

That was breathtaking; notice it completely deflated the RATs. Mike Crapo is ripping flesh, too, with a touch less drama.

Every one of these RATS make me sick. Their only aim is to re-frame the entire debate so it’s all about placating their leftist agenda.

These losers are showing full well why something like 7% of the American people approve of them.

I loved both and the emphasis Cruz placed on the unlawfulness of the prior administration

MenSeekingMen is gonna have a hard time re-broadcasting the extra-long stint of the protesters half-way through Ted’s Cruz missile without showing him, but they’ll find a way.

H/T BGS:

Sen. Cruz’s statement:

“But here’s the kicker. Many of Sessions’ opponents actually believe the Justice Department does not need reform. To them, the lawlessness is a feature, not a bug.”

“President Obama—and Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch—did not mess things up, in this view. Rather, they successfully transformed the DOJ from a law enforcement agency to yet another law “enhancement” agency. To them, Sessions is a threat because of his impartial commitment to the rule of law.”

Although I am in my senior years, I am driven to keep my health in good form so that I may read Leahey’s obituary and have a good laugh. He is among the most detestable of the leftists.

It speaks to the character of his supporters in Vermont.

This sounds like “future amnesty”...don’t do it, Jeff!

“Sessions said, “[is] let’s fix this system and then we can work together after this lawlessness has been ended and then we can ask the American people and enter into a dialogue about how to compassionately treat people who have been here a long time.”

I’m sorry, but my take on it was that Lindsey was goading Sessions into admitting that the Russians had an impact on the outcome of the election, through hacking.

If enforcing the law is such a big deal to them the dreamer needs to be gathered up and deported.

Most of the leftist activists could likely be gathered up as well for something against the law if one checked them out.

Pretty sure they don’t really want all the laws enforced, just certain laws against certain people.
