" Sen. Sessions is at the head of the line."

A great man from a great state.

Mr. Sessions was **voted down** by the (then Democratically-controlled) Senate when he was appointed to be a federal judge.

The great state of Alabama showed its disapproval by voting out one of our then Democratic Party Senators and voting in Mr. Sessions; hence: Senator Sessions.

So it is no accident that Senator Sessions sits today on the committee that once voted him down.

And it is no accident that he takes a keen interest in the judicial stunts that Democrats keep attempting to pull.

It is also worth mentioning that **other** states may very well follow suit...punishing Democrats for their obstructionism by voting Democrats out and Republicans in.

Yessir!
Sen. Sessions is a great man from a great state!

Was that Howell Heflin?
I tried googling it, but couldn't find it.
So, I am going from memory.
Please, correct me if I am wrong.
Whatever his name, I remember his face.

No siree...it's no accident that Sen. Sessions is a Senator.
And, if I may say so...y'all done good!

I'm not fron the great state of Alabama, but I was born and raised just over the state line...
in Missippy. ;o)

Do tell?
That is well worth a "mention".

Which cracks me up no end, especially because one of those senators who "voted him down" is now the Chairman of that committee!

C-Span ran some of the senate debate on Alito last night, including a press conference directly after the judiciary committee vote. Republicans lined up around the microphone, and Senator Sessions stood to the left. Ordinarily, your eye lights on the tallest person, but something about Sessions draws you. Whether it's his quiet poise, integrity, whatever...I couldn't look away from him, though he isn't tall, nor was he moving around, talking, etc.. He's one of those rare people, his character just shines.
