Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, the first of the Trump administration’s Cabinet nominees to have a confirmation hearing, appeared before his colleagues on Tuesday. The 70year-old arrived to a room packed with protesters who kept interrupting the process.
Sessions will make a great attorney general. The partisan show we will see over the next day or two will not change the outcome. He will be confirmed. Luis and Lily Vazquez
Since Republicans love to show how pious they are, I suggest every session of Congress now be opened with the following little prayer:
“My dollar, in my wallet, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, around the world and especially in America. Give us this day, way more than we can eat, and forgive us any compassion that we may show onto others. Lead us into many temptations, and allow us to feel no guilt. For yours is the power, the glory and the everlasting American faith, now and forever. Amen.”
Nine days to go until President Trump. I can hardly wait! John Bertelson
Democrats are grasping at straws with the race card. It’s their only weapon against a man who respects the Constitution.
The same Democrats were silent when former attorney general Eric Holder ran “Fast and Furious.” He sent guns over the border to Mexico to combat drug cartels and ended up putting them in the wrong hands. Frank Elliott
Sessions should not even have been considered for attorney general, given his alleged record of racial discrimination. Sessions is a true insult to American values democracy. But then again, Trump’s entire Cabinet is made up of people ready to destroy our democracy.
Bigots out there must love this choice.
A true American would never stand for Sessions’ appointment as our attorney general. He is what is wrong with America, a messenger of division who stops progress. United we stand, divided we fall! Centola Ray

Our followers shared their thoughts on Sen. Jeff Sessions as attorney general of the U.S. Sessions seems too rooted in the past and his religion to be a good voice for all Americans. @bonsaibean He is the best man for the job, period. Enough of the posturing by Democrats on the panel. God bless Sessions! @MariaFrank10 He was nominated because he was the first senator to support Donald Trump. Terrible choice. First of many terrible Cabinet picks. @lisagarner_lisa Democrats fear him, Republicans love him. My thought is, if Sessions upholds the Constitution and pursues criminals, then amen! @hollowman777 I expect the U.S. attorney general to uphold justice for all. Sessions’ history proves that he’s unfit for this role. @KathyAComer
