The Senate, as a whole, just illustrated why they are no longer worthy of leadership, let alone respect. I've asked a few good Representatives why they don't seek Senate office when their winning them is practically assured. The responses vary from "You're kidding, right?", "I still have to look at myself in the mirror while shaving", "I'm a deacon at my church", and "Why would I want to leave a position where I can do some good?".
Taking their overall respect for the Other Body into consideration, I say that Sessions just acknowledged what a joke all their deliberations truly are. Egotistical scalawags full of sound and fury...signifying nothing.
Our question to them should be "Why isn't a truly effective barrier under construction when it is your duty to erect it?" Failure to answer that question adequately requires new representation to replace the compromised. Period.
Brabantio: "What profane wretch art thou?"
Iago: "I am one sir, who comes to tell you that your daughter and the Moor are making the beast with two backs."
Brabantio: "Thou art a villian!"
Iago: "Thou art...a Senator!"
