Palin / Sessions 2012

Sessions is an ignorant, racist troll. Judge Sotomayor is making a fool of him on television and he doesn't even realize this. Hilarious. He should be the next entry into (small) "Dickipedia".

[Gold777Silver]

Republicans made another mistake, choosing Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) as their point person against Sotomayor. Sessions, whose own nomination to the federal bench was rejected by the Senate because of his racism, stated he "used to think "the KKK were OK" until he found some were "pot smokers". He routinely referred to a black attorney who worked for him as "boy," & warned that "boy" to "be careful what you say to white folks" after Sessions overheard him correcting errors from a white legal aid.

Q: Who is the major US politician that makes George W. Bush look smart?

A: Jeff Sessions

[exenrontexas]

Held accountable for CORRUPTION???!!!! Alberto Gonzales, the BUSH Attorney General, in charge of the ENRON criminal prosecutions was HIMSELF and ENRON lawyer working for VInson & Elkins law firm in Houston on the ENRON account setting up barracades and obfuscations used to stifle regulators efforts to catch the ENRON criminals. Session KNOWS THIS since he ALSO received support from the ENRON CRIMINALS. So MANY GOP criminals, so little time and space in prison.

[Grinmann]

While he has moderated the overt racism that characterized his early legal career, his ideological pretension regarding "activist judges" shows - in light of clear 'activist' comments from Scalia and Alito - the deep hypocrisy in his argument.
