Democrats Attack, Demand That Sessions Drop Out

The Democratic National Committee is calling on Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., to recuse himself from his nomination for U.S. attorney general following a report that he has withheld information that the Senate will need to decide on whether to confirm him.

The report, produced by progressive groups, accused Sessions of neglecting to provide "major details from his years as U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Alabama, from 1981 to 1993; as attorney general of Alabama, from 1995 to 1997; and as a first-term U.S. senator, from 1997 to 2002," according to the Huffington Post.

Sessions omitted the information from a questionnaire submitted to the Senate Judiciary Committee, which "requires complete documentation of employment history, published writings, interviews and speeches, among other things."

The DNC released a statement Saturday attacking Sessions and calling for him to recuse himself from consideration for attorney general.

They're in no position to demand anything.

Sessions must be a great pick, for the DNC to act like this. They are going to like him less when Trump Gets them all in ONE room.

Sessions is a old racist and anti weed.

Thomas Figures, a black Assistant U.S. Attorney, testified that Sessions said he thought the Ku Klux Klan was "OK until I found out they smoked pot".

Sessions became only the second nominee to the federal judiciary in 48 years whose nomination was killed by the Senate Judiciary Committee

Sessions is against legalizing marijuana for either recreational or medicinal use. "I’m a big fan of the DEA", he said during a hearing with the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Wow being anti-weed is just such a horrible thing--It's Federal Law that Weed is illegal... and it is also a horrible drug, that makes people long term zombies, lung cancer, inhibits ambition and is a known gateway drug to other even more horrible drugs

Find another reason--there aren't any

Go Trump!
