So far Sessions hasn’t pulled a “Kyl” on us. He’s a friend of Levin’s. Says a lot about his character I think. Too good for the Senate.
Sessions is a lousy speaker, and I’ve seen him perform very poorly in Supreme Court nomination hearings of the Judiciary Committee. It’s hard to avoid the impression — I’d love to be corrected on this — that the man just isn’t very bright. However, he is definitely a solid conservative, and has definitely been strong on this immigration bill. We owe Senator Sessions a debt of gratitude.
