On the eve of Sen. Jeff Sessions's nomination to be attorney general of the U.S., Hugh McInnish wrote an interesting and positive column for this site about the Jeff Sessions he knows. I cannot say I know Jeff Sessions to that extent, but I have met with him twice, and I found him to be a bright, congenial person. With the full Senate vote on Jeff Sessions's confirmation looming, I thought the readers here might be interested in a couple of other things I observed about the Jeff Sessions I met.
As I am an Alabama resident, Jeff Sessions is my senator. I also happened to be an economics professor. One time a few years ago, Sen. Sessions, whom I had then never previously met, was to be in Mobile and was interested in the issue of whether or not the Chinese were trying to gain an advantage in trade with the U.S. by manipulating the exchange rate of their currency with the U.S. dollar. Sen. Sessions wanted to discuss this issue, and he was put in contact with me. We agreed to meet at a local restaurant to discuss Chinese exchange rates over dinner.
I showed up at the restaurant at the appointed hour. The first thing I noticed was that the senator had made us just a regular reservation at the restaurant, pulling no rank. I arrived first, and the restaurant staff seated me at a table that anyone else would have gotten. It was a table I had been seated at before when eating there with my family. The staff at the restaurant never seemed to know that entire evening that the Jeff Sessions I was meeting for dinner and who made the reservation was different from any other diner.

Yes, it is the conservatives who are real folks.
The leftists who prattle on about the common people are thorough elitists.
How anyone could anyone with a conscience object to a true public servant and faithful representative like Jeff Sessions as AG? Sorry for Alabama’s loss when he’s finally confirmed, but the rest of the country needs him too.
