Senate Democrats are making it clear that Sen. Jeff Sessions will not have an easy time being confirmed as President-elect Donald J. Trumps first attorney general.
In a letter addressed to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA), Democrats on the committee pushed for extensive confirmation hearings, indicating that they plan resistance, despite the fact that they referred to him as a colleague with whom they have a personal and cordial relationship.
The senators also requested that Grassley allow for outside witnesses to testify on Sessions track record on immigration, civil and voting rights, womens rights, and government oversight due to his extensive record on these important issues.
Part of the letter reads, [w]hen our country is struggling with so many divisions, the committee and the entire Senate must ask whether Senator Sessions is the right man to lead the agency charged with securing and protecting the constitutional and civil rights of all Americans.
The letter was signed by Sens. Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Richard Dick Durbin (D-IL), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Al Franken (D-MN), Christopher Koons (D-DE), and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT).
Earlier this month, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) one of Congresss most progressive legislators called on President-elect Trump to rescind his decision to nomination

Bring it on ‘RATS -— yet another inglorious defeat awaits you.
Tell them all to eat a turd
I guess they forgot “Elections have consequences”
I “call on” these LIB degenerates to STFU.
SOP
That said, it is like Ashcroft redux.
They will NEVER be able to mount an opposition such as they did with Justice Clarence Thomas. Bring it on biches.......
Democrats on the committee???
Why are ANY Demonrats even Allowed on these committee’s???? I could understand having one just to be bipartisan, but that should be the limit.
WE WON, YOU LOST, Get in the Back of the BUS!
I think Trump has a deal with McConnell to trigger the nuclear option. I think the Elaine Chao appointment confirms this.
And I guess they also forgot that they made it possible to nominate Sessions with 50 votes plus a Pence tiebreaker.
Elections have consequences
They are going to do to him what they did to John Tower.......

Or the Republicans can put the senate into recess and Trump can make all the necessary recess appointments immediately
That would show them as well
Many ways to skin this cat
Nuke’m from orbit!
Obama: “...election is over, I-I-I-I WON!...”
Perhaps they need to see Gowdy’s name instead of sessions. That should raise the hair on their necks. Bwahahahahahahahahaha
I bet McCain will always vote with the Rats.
The Left has spent decades politicizing DOJ. They know full well Session will clean up the cesspool.
It needs to be made perfectly clear to GOP Senators, and Dem Senators running for reelection in Red and Purple states, that Sessions will be AG or their will be electoral consequences in 2018.
Senators, either stand with the Voters or you stand with the Dc Machine against us. There is no where to hide on this one.
You mean a fair and impartial racist DOJ like Loretta Lynch? Give me a break.
We've broken one open to get you started.
Love,
The Winners
Does anybody recall what kind of opposition R’s put up to Lynch?
