Attorney General Jeff Sessions told Breitbart News in an exclusive interview on Thursday that the Department of Justice was ending the executive branch legal activism of the previous administration, while also fighting the judicial activism of liberal judges. I think the department did become too political under President Barack Obama, Sessions said. Essentially, it was executive branch legal activism. They would take cases or regulations or statutes and expand or redefine the meaning of words in them to advance the agenda that they thought ought to be advanced an agenda that often had zero chance of passing Congress, where the elected representatives sit.
So you have an agenda, and you cant get Congress to pass it, so you use unelected regulatory officials and lawyers to draft regulations and enforcement policies that carry out a political agenda that the people dont favor.

Don’t really care what he says here. Sessions needs to go!!!
We have a system prescribed by the Constitution for removal of activist judges. It's called impeachment.They should be removed for failing to uphold the Constitution, i.e., for falsely assuming power and authority that's exclusive to the legislative and executive branches.
The problem is that impeachment and removal requires that our Congress stop abdicating its power and responsibility and do its duty to maintain the separation of powers outlined in the Constitution. That would means Congress impeaching and removing activist judges - something our party system thwarts.
Oh, shut up, Jeff. You’ve done nothing for a year. Ok, I take that back. You did do something yesterday with that little moronic talk about the Florida shooting. You made a complete and utter fool of yourself blathering on and on about nothing. It quickly turned to white noise and I had to change channels. That was the last straw for you. You need to be fired.
That is a good way to put it.
In other words, no activism with Republican Presidents but the Dems can do whatever they want just like they have been doing.
Jeff you make me ashamed.
“I think the department did become too political under President Barack Obama, Sessions said. “
Oh, you think!?
Sessions sure has a “gift” for understating a problem.

Sessions silence and apparent lack of movement speaks the degree of orchestration required to result in the Fat Lady singing.
Hey Jeff,, go out and arrest a few high and mighty network and former agency mucky mucks,, words are cheap like your policy changes.. who do you think you’re fooling? you know who the key players are. you lived in the swamp for years, which isn’t that ahrd to believe consdiering how little you have really done except recuse yourself and put the nation thru months of lies used to badger a duly elected candidate to the WH. We should question where your loyalties lie. We still have that right left, at least, I think we do.
