The American Civil Liberties Union vowed to sue Jeff Sessions if he violates the Constitution immediately after he was confirmed by the Senate as attorney general.

“If he violates the Constitution, we’ll sue,” the ACLU tweeted on Wednesday night.

The ACLU made the first successful lawsuit against the Trump administration in late January when it filed a complaint on behalf of two men who were detained at an airport as a result of Trump’s controversial executive order.

A federal judge filed an emergency stay on parts of the executive order at the time as a result.

The group has received a flood of donations and is setting itself up as one of the key players in coming legal fights over Trump's agenda.

Sessions was confirmed by the Senate after a contentious, all-night debate about his nomination. Sessions, a senator from Alabama, was eventually confirmed in a 52-47 vote.

The vote came after Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) was barred from speaking on the Senate floor against Sessions Tuesday night. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said her speech, in which she was reading a letter by Coretta Scott King against Sessions's federal judgeship nomination in the 1980s, was impugning another member of the Senate.

Didn’t Obama illegally divert fines in the tens of millions that banks paid to pet causes like BLM and ACLU?

The ACLU pukes will sue him constantly. Heck they will sue Sessions for waking up in the morning.

But they will lose. Badly.

Trump needs to make defunding the Left a high level Strategic Element across the bureauracy.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I think I’m going to sue the ACLU (Arab Civil Liberties Union) for being a bunch of America-hating ***holes.

[SoFloFreeper]

These pukes always select crazy and stupid looking photos. The ACLU never defends the people from government, only criminals and terrorists. They are as evil as they come.

Attorney General Eric Holder maintained Tuesday that he has a “vast amount” of discretion in how the Justice Department prosecutes federal law.

I know someone who was declared a vexacious litigant in California. She can no longer file suits. (From wikipedia: Vexatious litigation is legal action which is brought, regardless of its merits, solely to harass or subdue an adversary. It may take the form of a primary frivolous lawsuit or may be the repetitive, burdensome, and unwarranted filing of meritless motions in a matter which is otherwise a meritorious cause of action.)

Some countries have vexacious litigation laws, but apparently the US doesn't.

[jazusamo]

Exactly, and what he meant was he’d enforce federal law any way 0bama told him to.

[silverleaf]

They’re gonna sue him no matter what
It’s what they do

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

What a bunch of arrogant turd losers. None of them is worthy to tie Sessions’ shoes.

OK, here’s the autistic screeching from the left I was looking forward to hearing.
Ahhhhhhhh .......
