Senate Democrats are poised to throw away 20 years of friendship and a bipartisan working relationship with Sen. Jeff Sessions to wreak political vengeance on him this week as they consider his nomination for attorney general.
Highlighting the deep partisan divide and the bad blood between Democratic lawmakers and President-elect Donald Trump, the same senators who have socialized and co-authored reams of legislation with Mr. Sessions are under pressure from liberal interest groups to air accusations that he is a racist, a sexist and a homophobe.
Mr. Sessions, who has held an Alabama seat in the Senate since 1997 and has served as the state’s attorney general and as a U.S. attorney, is expected to win confirmation from his colleagues, including support from several Democrats. But it won’t be pretty.
Heading into two days of confirmation hearings that begin Tuesday before the Senate Judiciary Committee, where he serves as a member, liberal activist groups have gone so far as to label him a “white supremacist,” and his Democratic colleagues have expressed doubt about his ability to enforce the law without prejudice.

Dem's showed their true awful colors. Getting really tired of all this mud-slinging while on TV. Folks no longer like seeing Congress playing it up for TV.
The democrats are worried that he can' or won't enforce the law??
Really?
From the same people who watched their hero flaunt the law, violate the law, and ignore the law????
They don't have any credibility.
none.
Watch Joe, more Dems will vote for him than expected. Why? Many more Democrats in the Senate are up for reelection in 2018 than GOP held Senate seats. A certain well known Wisconsin sheriff/Trump supporter may be running, too.
You want a friend in Washington D.C. Get a dog
A confederacy of dunces.
As always, the liberals throw out accusations with nothing to back it up. Why use facts when you have the MSM on your side.
Is he worse than the past 2 racists who occupied that office?
I don't know.
Why was he chosen by Mr Trump?
Coming soon: Fast and Furious II
I am so sick of these vile libtards.
He was chosen because he will enforce the law. Thank God!!
He Held up GOOD today....
He is tough,smart,well experienced
He is used to taking the Heat in the kitchen !!
Dems can't touch him / Good pick Trump !!!
He Will be confirmed , despite the Racist Blacks !!! Fact
The protesters should have been Thrown Out of the room
and none allowed in there to begin with at the hearings
Those fools are Not going to change the outcome, they only
will get their stupid self Locked Up ......
Sessions did Perfect by keeping his cool and looking good
in the face of their outbirsts !!!! Saw the whole thing !!
This is all a part of the sore loser game the liberals are playing after the American voters said no to them and their agenda. Remember, they are telling their followers to continue with riots and protests, making a smooth transition impossible, which is their plan.
Sessions is one of the Tough ones ... Right for the J O B !!
The Dems ought to take a look at Their own AG and Prosecute
her for her Election Tampering !!!
Dems are Hipocrites to the Highest Degree !!!
No 'Profiles In Courage' to be found on the Democrat side of the aisle.
Protesters were there just to act out for the TV cameras so MSM could have video. What a lowlife bunch, in the costumes, in the MSM, and in the Democrats participating.
Cory 'no fixed address as Newark's mayor' Booker to break Senate tradition and testify against his colleague who he praised a year ago for helping get medals for civil rights leaders. But Booker is the only black Dem in the Senate so he drew the short straw and will recite his fictions in pursuit of political capital with the Dems. Senator Tim Scott from racist SC is the senior black Senator, but he's Republican so he doesn't really count, per the Dems.
I can't wait till Cory Booker runs his mouth tomorrow. You know what they say about you can take them out of the Ghetto... But you can't take the

You should have seen how nasty that McCaskill democrat woman got with General John Lee today.
Democrats are ok with making former KKK grand wizard Robert Byrd their highest ranking congressional leader for many years, but fighting Sessions for unproven claims of racism.
