WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald J. Trump has selected Senator Jeff Sessions, a conservative from Alabama who became a close adviser after endorsing him early in his campaign, to be the attorney general of the United States, according to officials close to the transition.
Mr. Sessions was also under consideration for secretary of defense, creating debate within the Trump transition team over which job he should fill.
Mr. Sessions, a former prosecutor elected to the Senate in 1996, serves on the Judiciary Committee and has opposed immigration reform as well as bipartisan proposals to cut mandatory minimum prison sentences...

Great pick!!!
I hope Alabama can replace Senator Sessions in the senate with someone that’s also very good. I live in Alabama and I am just not so sure who that would be.
We need to do a lot of work to de-politicize the DOJ. I think Jeff Sessions is perfect for returning the DOJ to the American people as well as making sure immigration laws are enforced. Jeff Sessions is a perfect pick
Yeah, if Trump takes all the good Senators the GOP Senate will be even worse.
There should be a duplicate=Yes feature on the site which would preclude anyone from posting the exact title twice. It would sure stop all these numerous postings of the same article.
Okay . . . Duplicate-NO
Slimes calls Sessions consevative. When did the Slimes ever call an Obama pick liberal or Marxist. Oh yeah, never.
Mostly negative article. Slimes bias contibues unabated. They have not learned a thing why nobody trusts them but the most extreme leftists.
We don’t want Limpsy Graham and Warhawk McCain to take over the senate.
on the other hand, new postings generate new comments and no one reads what has been posted before they post anyway

Jeffrey!?
What are you going to do with that ax!?
Good pick, but it's not a slam dunk for confirmation.
Yes, that would seem to be a good feature to have. We could call it “Search”..................
Excellent choice and the Republican Governor of Alabama can replace with a Republican.
Now Mr Attorney General, when confirmed, start appointing Special Prosecutors.
If we did that we would have to enable an upvote in order to keep popular posts closer to the top of the first page. I for one don’t want click “next page” 4 to 5 times to read and comment on a good/interesting/infamous article.
Turns out that Trump is way more conservative than those who carped that he wasn't conservative enough - his picks so far is a super indication that he has no intention of backing off his agenda.
It would be nice if a thread is bumped to the top whenever a post is made . . . I agree that it is cumbersome to go back over pages and the search feature isn’t very friendly unless you know the exact title.
