47. I get it, but he may have more of a vestige of respect for rule of law than the alternative

I know that he's a racist. The Senate was right to block him when Reagan tried to appoint him.

But, he still had enough of a connection with normal practices to recuse himself and allow Robert Mueller to be appointed. The AG is the single person who can do the most to quash the investigation into Trump. If Twitler wants him gone, there's only one reason, and that's reason enough to hope that he hangs in, for now.

It's not like our opinion is going to affect the outcome, but infinitely more is at stake with getting Trump removed ASAP, before he does catastrophic things. There's no question about Session's record on race, but it's not like Trump is about to replace him with Thurgood Marshall.
