"Deeply Concerned" Schumer To Vote Against Sessions, Fears For "Immigrant, Gay, Disabled
Zero Hedge ^ | 01/12/2017

In a tweet-tempest this morning, Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) has confirmed he opposes Sen. Jeff Sessions, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee to serve as attorney general.

The Attorney General has a sacred obligation to enforce our laws & uphold the constitution.

— Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) January 12, 2017

The AG must wake up each day ensuring rights of all Americans immigrant, minority, young, old, gay, straight, disabled & not are protected.

— Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) January 12, 2017

The AG ensures that POTUS & the Admin's policies adhere to American values& ideals & is a check to ensure the President is not above the law

— Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) January 12, 2017

I am not confident in Sen Sessions' ability to defend the rights of all Americans, or to serve as indep. check on the next administration.

— Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) January 12, 2017

As The Hill reports, Sessions has faced backlash over his record on civil rights since his nomination and throughout his Senate confirmation hearings this week.

 

The Senate in 1986 opposed appointing Sessions to a federal judgeship in part because of disparaging remarks he allegedly made about the NAACP and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). He strongly denied the accusations back then and again this week.

 

Critics also point to his prosecution of black voting rights activists for voter fraud and other civil rights concerns.

Schumer's dissent is not entirely surprising and will likely not be the last.

Schumer is an A$$HOLE who is using "Fears For "Immigrant, Gay, Disabled" to hide behind.

He's doing nothing more than throwing partisan turds into the punch bowl.

“Immigrants” are illegal immigrants. It is there for everyone to see: Democrats do not believe in the rule of law.

Back when the KKK mattered, they were the military arm of the Democratic party. The Democratic party still embraces illegal violence when it suits them. The rhetoric of the Democratic party, Black Lives Matter, and others encourage violence against whites and against the police.

Another thing about the KKK at its height of power, their acts were illegal. Today, with sanctuary cities, it is obvious that Democrats still embrace illegal behavior.

The Democratic party embrace of illegal activity that is there for all to see in the case of ILLEGAL immigration, is also present in voter fraud in Detroit and elsewhere. How many elections have they stolen throug the years?

Jeff Sessions does not have to partisan; he need only support the Law. He can be a new Matt Dillon, but on a larger scale. Enforce the laws on immigration. Convict those who commit voter fraud.

Now they do. Under Obama, the AG was just head of the Department of Just Us and the Constitution was just an inconvenient roadblock on the way to the glorious white-free, Christian-free future.

I believe the dude from West Virginia who is up for re-election in 2018 has already said he’d vote for Sessions.

Trump is going to find that Democrats in “red” states are going to be more helpful to him than a lot of the pr!cks in the GOP.

IOW, those in the Uniparty that are more concerned w/ their re-election chances than those ensconced for the next X years.

So Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) is a “concern troll”?

Who wudda thunk it.

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) clearly earned the moniker ‘Putzhead’.

Schumer is nothing better than a common whore. At least a whore works for a living.
