After a bitter confirmation battle, Jeff Sessions was sworn in Thursday as attorney general at an Oval Office ceremony attended by President Trump.

The president said that Mr. Sessions, a former federal prosecutor and Alabama attorney general who resigned form the U.S. Senate to become the country’s top law enforcement officer, had “devoted his life to the cause of justice and believes deeply that all people are equals in the eyes of the law.”

The swearing-in capped a brutal confirmation in which Senate Democrats and liberal activists accused Mr. Sessions of being a racist, sexist and homophobic.

Bitter and brutal confirmation process?

It was childish, petty, and pathetic what the parasite democrats did to Mr. Sessions.

Racist, sexist, & homophobe. The only people that impresses is the Left. Everyone else rolls their eyes.

Trump is taking a no hitter into the 7th inning and the dems haven’t gotten the bat off their shoulder.

For posterity sake, I should point out that up until a few weeks ago, many here were boosting Chris Christie for the AG position.

I think Jeff Sessions is a major upgrade to that choice.

First act: Ask for the resignation letters from every one of the US Attorneys all over the US, in every district, and their staff of assistants as well. Those who fail to provide such a resignation letter shall be summarily fired, the remainder shall be reviewed and the resignations accepted on those who are out of phase with the Trump program. The replacements hired will be of good character and supportive of the application of the US Code.

Well, Trump claims he is serious about upholding the law equally for everybody. If Hillary and bubba don't get indicted on RICO charges and soon, President Trump could be proved a liar.
