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.
I don’t think Sessions will be ignoring the Constitution.
Dream on, ACLU.
Doesn’t an ACLU threat come with the job?
You have been reading my mind again.
Oh how scary - the ACLU is going to sue him. Why don’t they just buzz off.
Where were these Commie fags when their boy, Obonzo was trampling the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Sessions needs to go after these bastards. Especially now that the Muzzies have taken it over.
ACLU = Anti-Constitutional Lawyers Union.
And to sue him twice if he doesn’t.
The ACLU will sue Sessions regardless of what he does.
ACLU head is a muzzy
LOL! They know they are as close to irrelevant as they’ve ever been with a Trump/Sessions team executing and enforcing the Law of the Land....like all Dims, they need to bloviate to reassure themselves they still actually exist.
I’m not a mind reader by any means.All decent people want to see the evil persons among us punished for their crimes.
