The Attorney General of the U.S. is the nations leading law enforcement officer. And Trumps choice for this position is Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama.
Why didnt Trump go all the way and appoint David Duke?
Sessions record on civil rights is in line with that of the KKK. So Im going to go out on a limb here and predict that the Senate wont confirm him. Republicans backed down on wiping out the independent ethics office and its possible theyll back down here too.
Then again, we know that the Republican Party is a criminal enterprise, so they just might approve him. Yeah, the optics of a widely recognized racist/bigot as AG is not good, but do Republicans really give a rats ass about that?
Anyhow, I believe that the Senate will go against their Orange Leader on this appointment and shoot down Sessions' appointment.
What do you think?
