He went on to say that he thought “taking and seizing and forfeiting, through a government judicial process, illegal gains from criminal enterprises is not wrong.” Furthermore, he declared, “95 percent” of forfeiture cases involve criminals who’ve “done nothing in their lives but sell dope.”
Sorry, I think Sessions is on the wrong side of an issue I care deeply about. Any AG who is okay with a %5 error rate in taking innocent citizens property is a bit too much.
So, we take a valid statement, that seizing bad guy's stuff is not wrong, and use that it justify ruining peoples lives on simple suspicion. If he cant see that grinding up innocent peoples lives is not right, then he's not the guy I want leading that agency. Haven't we had eight years of tone deaf people running things? How about some middle ground?
I may have missed it but did anyone see any non-POC in that rogues' gallery of bitchers and moaners?
Sessions just confirmed as AG...52 to 47 (w/ one 'present')
I believe Sessions voted Present.

But we knew that was going to happen. The Dems just had to spend days running their face and calling him names and being ugly to him and ranting and keening first.
I get so tired of this crap, these blathering blowhard politicians.
I wish they would all spontaneously combust.
