Great choice.
Is this a good pick? I know nothing about him
Rep. Mike Pompeo
Excellent! Sessions will be great in this role.
Mark Levin will like this pick.
Now AL needs to elect Mo Brooks up into the Senate.
Dammit! I wanted to see Trey Gowdy in that position. Wouldn’t Gowdy take the job?
I would also like to see Sheriff David Clarke selected for Secretary of Homeland Security.
I love the pick; I hate the Senate loss.
It is a shame we can’t have clone 52 Sessions for the senate.
Bump!!
Absolutely best pick.
Just the man to clean out the rats nest in the Department of Just us.
Fantastic!
Gee, the Trump team is in such disarray </sarc>, they are way ahead of Obama in cabinet selections already. I have never seen such efficient and effective disarray before.
seems that will be a safe repub seat after Sessions leaves.
Alabama - Governor can appoint an interim.
Special Election ( this 60 days part reads funny )
On such a day as the governor may direct, unless vacancy occurs between 2 and 4 months before the next regularly-scheduled general election, in which case it is held at that election. If vacancy occurs within 60 days of the next regularly-scheduled general election, a special election must be held on the first Tuesday after 60 days have elapsed since the vacancy occurred.

Wow! No Cruz, no Christie, and so on.
But I will bet there will be a place for Rudy.
>>> More great picks!
Yay!
I was hoping Trump pick Sessions as vp running mate, but this works even better.
The man wasn't kidding. He's going to Make America Great Again. And America that is respected and feared around the World. I am giddy about this announcement.
Hope he sticks to his insistence that all appointees sign his no lobbying for 5 years after they leave contract. That alone will drain the swamp by a huge amount.
I know the sarcastic joke is, "I'm getting tired of winning". Not me. I've waited too long to see Constitutional adults back in charge. Keep the wins coming, Mr. President-elect Trump. I can handle it.
Good thing he didn't pick a Democrat like some Dems were suggesting him to do!!!
Thank God!
In the meantime I am sure that Levin has some acidic commentary.
One problem about this, it’s the senate. The trash governor could appoint an anti Trump entity. Anyone have any insights into this?
