Immaturity and sarcasm aside, Jeff Sessions has already quietly been much, MUCH more directly helpful on this front than his often unhelpful and outright traitorous (on this topic) boss, Trump.
DOJeff’s list of accomplishments in this regard is long. Such as undoing the racist policies of Obama/Holder/Lynch . Including one policy from those evils which effectively, though illegally, modified the Civil Rights act (Title VI) to implement the ‘disparate impact’ bullschiff via both prosecutorial sticks and taxpayer-money carrots to make schools/local cops to become more like Broward’s Cowards.

Other than the Fl. SHOOTING bringing the Act to the forefront, I’m willing to read any/all sources you can provide.
As for ‘rolling back policies’, like Trumps actions of the same, accomplish exactly ZERO. Unless the agency/dept’s ABILITY is voided, those policies will be re-enacted.
Putting those that break the LAW under the microscope (I have no delusions that any of ‘em would be JAILED, let alone hauled in front of a jury/judge) is the *only* CORRECT path...and dear old Sessions ain’t doing SQUAT.
So, unless there’s other, tangible proof, he’s as useless as teets on a bull.
That's a decent though misspelled description of what I increasingly see dangling here at FR.
DOJeff on the other hand is doing actual work and, regarding links, I'm going to be more like him and less like Holder to assume it is your own local ability and responsibility to employ your choice of Google / Bing / DuckDuck to help yourself up by the bootstraps.
But for starters, specifically relevant to what we are talking about here, AGJeff issued a memorandum prohibiting his Dept from "...issuing guidance documents that have the effect of adopting new regulatory requirements or amending the law."
Look for references to the AG's Regulatory Reform Task Force to understand how that is one of the processes being used to prevent nonsense like the twisted "disparate impact" BS employed by the Obamanation to create law out of thin air under rules which really only allow the dispensing of advice.
As an exercise of mental muscle much neglected on this site of late, I am leaving it up to you to find the links from whatever sources you tend to trust which detail such things as:
-The prosecution of literally thousands of previously excused if not outright protected MS-13 and other gang members. Both here and in the incubator nations of Central America. Much of it being done to satisfy Trump's EO on "Enforcing Federal Law with Respect to Transnational Criminal Organizations and Preventing International Trafficking".
-Aggressively, rightfully and finally (and probably soon successfully) taking the correct side in the Janus v. AFSCME case. The federal level analogy to what my awesome Gov Walker did here in WI to help financially de-fang the public union enemy while protecting worker freedoms.
-Settled the neglected till (purposely) nearly forgotten cases brought by literally hundreds of TEA party type outfits, stating: "...without question our First Amendment prohibits the federal government from treating taxpayers differently based solely on their viewpoint or ideology. There’s no excuse for this conduct.... this abuse of power will not be tolerated."
-The announced commencement of Civil Rights investigations against colleges/Universities (including the much ballyhooed Haaarvard) which discriminate against Asians and Whites for admissions.
-Taking the side of free speech against the asinine policy of 'safe zones' on campus. -Putting an end last summer to the HolderBama horrendous practice of funding evil liberal third parties as beneficiaries to unrelated lawsuits. As DOJeff stated: "Nowhere does the Constitution grant unelected attorneys or political appointees the power to effectively appropriate and distribute funds based on their political alliances." -A welcomed return to protecting religious liberty including reversing positions argued in federal court and even the SC including arguing in favor of the bakers as opposed to the prior admin's preference for the candle stick takers. And this was not limited to DOJ-specific dept policy. The AG sent instructions to ALL executive branches ordering them to: "...vigorously enforce Federal law’s robust protections for religious freedom." and then proceeded to settle many lawsuits in favor of Catholic/other colleges/hospitals, charities and such.
-Denying new grants to Sanctimonious Cities as well as doing the ground work to define and eventually prosecute the crimes of those in collusion with that city and/or state-level enemy.
-Doing the Lord's work and fulfilling Trump's number one campaign promise by admirably and successfully waging the legal battles in support of travel bans, refuges, walls and such.
-Last fall ending the terribly unconstitutional practice of the terrible prior admin and instead finally doing the DOJ's job in recognizing Congress's sole authority under Art 2, Section 9 to appropriate and dispense funds. Thus ending the cost-sharing reduction payments to health insurance companies which were not part of any law.
-Ending the prior admin's policy of favoring preferred races and imagined genders when deciding who/what should be held accountable under the law.
-Ending or re-evaluating many various "consent decrees" issued by the evil prior admin against local LEO's simply because they arrested folks of color disproportionate to their population numbers despite committing crimes vastly disproportionate to their population numbers. Taking a refreshingly correct fed level position that: "It is not the responsibility of the federal government to manage non-federal law enforcement agencies."
Even successful doing things which I personally don't approve of as a believer in a Free Republic, but which are technically Jeff's job until Congress rights their own dang wrongs in this respect. Meaning a surge in the opioid/etc drug wars, undoing Obama's ban on sharing military type equipment with local LEOs somewhat financed with asset forfeitures and such. Again, these few things I hate but which technically are still part of his job.
Despite the presidential knives in his back, Session is by far the one appointee most responsible for enacting the Trump policies and agenda he ran on - which, of course, Jeff was instrumental in forming during the campaign.
The man who much lesser men demean in an incredibly ignorant fashion as some sort of unqualified and sleepy swamp creature is absolutely nothing of the sort. For God's sake, he was Trump's first and most loyal DC supporter, a long term honest and very conservative Senator from a very conservative state, a highly active and knowledge-driven member of the Senate Judiciary committee, a US Attorney and, yes, even prior experience as an AG! Few if any could be considered a more qualified Attorney General choice.
It is certainly valid to question the decision to recuse and to be naturally impatient with the slow moving and once again rightly more secret wheels of the more political aspects of Justice. But it is embarrassingly wrong of folks to characterize Sessions as being in any way unqualified or unproductive. Quite the opposite is the truth!
