text:  things you need to know about trump attorney general pick jeff sessions by aaron bandler november   
  presidentelect donald trump has announced that his selection for attorney general is sen jeff sessions ral who has long been a favorite of conservatives the democrats already have the long knives out for sessions spitballing their usual accusations of racismwhich should indicate that sessions will be an effective attorney general 
  here are seven things you need to know about sessions 
   sessions has a  percent liberty score on conservative review  sessions has been in the senate for  years and has been described by the washington times as a tea partier before the tea party was cool per conservative review s biography  
   sessions has been one of the leaders in the senate in fighting against amnesty for instance sessions was among the most prominent members of the senate leading the opposition to the gang of eight bill national review  which dubbed sessions amnestys worst enemy explained how sessions would reveal true facts about the bill in an attempt to persuade some senators that hadnt decided how to vote on the legislation sessions and sen david vitter rla would find other clever ways to oppose the bill such as an amendment to a resolution honoring the late latino union organizer cesar chavez in which vitter noted chavezs opposition to illegal immigration putting sen bob menendez dnj in an awkward position 
  in  sessions introduced a bill that would overhaul the immigration system according to conservative review  overturned the zadvydas v davis supreme court case that obama is using as an excuse to release criminal aliens after six months of detention explicitly deputized the states to enforce federal immigration law eliminated sanctuary cities by cutting off dhs and doj law enforcement grants expedited deportation of gang members applied the ramifications of treating illegal aliens as criminal aliens to those convicted of drunk driving clamped down on loopholes that allow legal immigrants who commit crimes to continue on the path to citizenship instead of getting deported this would address cases like the legal immigrant who murdered the family in the washington dc mansion murders 
  sessions has also fought efforts to increase legal immigration as he has railed against it as the primary source of lowwage immigration into the united states 
  what we need now is immigration moderation slowing the pace of new arrivals so that wages can rise welfare rolls can shrink and the forces of assimilation can knit us all more closely together sessions wrote in a  oped in the washington post  
   sessions has also spearheaded efforts to crack down on budgetary issues according to conservative review s biography of sessions 
  in january  he was named ranking member of the senate budget committee in this capacity he led the republican charge against majority leader harry reid and barack obama for not offering a serious budget proposal given that the senate had not passed a budget since april  he has fought guerilla warfare often a lonely battle against democrats spending by raising budget point of orders against the breach of budget caps he has even fought his own party when his office put out devastating research against the ryanmurray budget deal sessions has also been a strong leader on welfare reform and publishing studies and data on the extent of the welfare state 
  sessions has voted against the tarp bailout stimulus bills and increases to the debt limit and has traveled through his state with charts warning of the united states crippling debt per the washington post  
   sessions endorsed trump early on to the surprise of many in the establishment sessions endorsed trump in february declaring  i believe we are on a movement that must not fade away this is a campaign this is a movement the american people are not happy with their government 
  it shouldnt have come as a surprise though given sessions record on immigration and that sessions tends to be more protectionist on trade 
   sessions is wellliked by his senate colleagues on a personal level according to the washington post  
  say what you will about him former longtime senate democratic communications aide jim manley told the almanac of american politics he was always nice to the late ted kennedy and other democrats as well 
  even people who have run against him have nice things to say about him stanleybecker talked to susan parker a democrat who tried to unseat sessions in  during a debate she asked for a tissue and sessions handed her one she joked she would use it to dry her eyes when sessions made her cry and he responded please dont say that thats my nightmare i promise ill be nice 
  its no wonder then that sessions will likely be confirmed by the senate 
   accusations of racism against sessions are absurd when president ronald reagan nominated sessions who at the time was a us attorney to a federal judge the democrats smeared sessions with accusations of racism which included calling a black attorney boy quipping about the ku klux klan i used to think they were ok but they are pot smokers joking that a white attorney was a traitor to his race because he was collaborating with civil rights groups calling the naacp and aclu unamerican prosecuting a civil rights organization for voter fraud 
  the last point isnt racist at all the jokes as ben shapiro has written  were made in front of the black lawyer even the lawyer accusing sessions of racism acknowledged that sessions was joking clearly sessions meant them as harmless jokes sessions has also denied calling the lawyer boy the civil rights group sessions prosecuted has faced accusations of voter fraud for many years 
  sessions record on race actually shows that he has consistently fought against racism as the weekly standard s mark hemingway writes 
  as a us attorney he filed several cases to desegregate schools in alabama and he also prosecuted the head of the state klan henry francis hays for abducting and killing michael donald a black teenager selected at random sessions insisted on the death penalty for hays when he was later elected the state attorney general sessions followed through and made sure the hays executed the successful prosecution of hays also led to a  million civil judgment against the klan effectively breaking the back of the kkk in alabama 
   as attorney general sessions would uphold the rule of law the reason why sessions has been such an immigration hawk is that he supports the rule of law he has also fought against judicial activist nominees and is a strong supporter of the death penalty between that and his legal background as a us attorney and alabama attorney general there is every reason to believe that sessions will follow the law and not politicize the justice department 
  his interpretation of the law will not please everyone but i predict it will be fairly applied without fear or favor robert driscoll  former deputy assistant attorney general wrote in national review  clear cases will be prosecuted with vigor creative interpretations of the law may cease but the meatandpotatoes work of the division intentional discrimination police misconduct disability law will continue apace conducted without impropriety or political favoritism that alone will be a breath of fresh air tags
