Some Dems Like Sessions as Top Judiciary GOP’er

U.S. Senator Jeff SessionsSome Dems are not at all unhappy to have Sen. Jeff Sessions as the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee:

Democrats like how this is looking.

“Sessions will help galvanize and crystallize why we need a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate,” a Democratic senator, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told POLITICO Tuesday.

    that senator was likely someone like barbara boxer. nut case….

  • princeliberty

    They are not happy they hoped they would get someone like Hatch who would endorse any Obama Supreme pick right away to help headoff a fight.

    That’s what Hatch did both times with Clinton.

    Sessions will not do that.

  • Roy

    No, I think Democrats are looking forward to having Jefferson Beauregard be the shining example of how out of touch with maninstream America the GOP has become. I suspect that even some of the 21% of Americans who still claim to be Republicans will cringe as Sessions harkens back to the good old days when joking about the Klan and obstructing civil rights were fair game.

    People like Sessions is the face of the Republican Party in the south and increasingly people all over the country are seeing this. It is killing the party all over the rest of the country (that and Rush Limbaugh) to be making and excusing these racially charged comments.

    Sessions is the type of Republican that lost his party the house and the Senate. Looking back on the two big special elections last cycle (in Louisiana and Mississippi), both Republicans had taken positions on race that are untenable in today’s society and the Republican Party paid for it.

    He needs to block anyone they send up just like the neolibs did to the Bush picks!

    post 3 and 4 – do you not think folks like leahey, boxer, kennedy and several others i can name are not out of touch with mainstream america? give me a break. there are folks on both sides that are out of touch. personally i think sessions is a reasonable man.

  • Anonomous

    Kennedy is a murderer and way out of touch. He thinks what is yours is actually someone else’s.

  • JC

    Every day Jeff Sessions is on television is a good day for Democrats. You guys just keep sending the likes of Limbaugh, Boehner, Cheney, Palin and Sessions to the front, and Dems will gladly continue winning elections. We should be paying you to be this stupid. Really, you make it too easy..

  • Wiregrass Republican

    Typical of a Democrat to speak out but not give their name. Gutless Wonders that they are.

    Of the stupid comments above…”if the Republicans were more like the Democrats, we would like them.”

    Silly Ass.

  • 2010

    JC – seems to me that sessions won rather easily in his last race….. if you rather have someone like boxer represent you – move to Cali.

  • princeliberty

    Cheney and Boehner both helped push thru the TARP bailout and other huge government spending programs.

    Session opposed the wild spending.

    There’s a big difference. Not everyone who is called a conservative is the same.

  • Roy

    Aw, don’t be bitter boys. Damn near 1 out of 5 Americans agree with you.

  • 2010

    i would say 4 out of 5 alabamians agree with us.

  • Roy

    That’s it, keep narrowing your view of the world. That’s why your party is turning into an anachronism. Heck, 4 out of 5 of the people on my block agree with me. The truth is that Americans continue to abandon the GOP in droves and yet the far right wing of the party (what other wing is there?) seems content to represent a very narrow ideological and geographical slice of the voters in this great country.

  • Loves Irony

    Whoa, whoa, whoa, hang on here… I want to make sure I got this right.

    Did someone who calls himself “Wiregrass Republican” call someone else a gutless wonder and a silly ass for not using a real name?

  • 2010

    Roy – if 4 out of 5 on your block agree then why did sessions just win re election – and rather easily? That is my point.
