Only in the United States Senate is it considered bad manners and a near inexcusable breach of decorum to tell the truth.

Cory Booker found that out earlier this week when he testified against fellow senator, Jeff Sessions — a man supremely qualified to pursue equal justice under the law for all citizens — at his confirmation hearing for the cabinet post of attorney general of the United States.

The senator from New Jersey testified before the committee that the senator from Alabama has far too checkered a past in the realm of civil rights to be trusted with the mantle of the nation’s top law enforcement official. Claims that were backed up by Booker and multiple other witnesses over the course of the hearing by merely citing Sessions’ long and despicable record of failing to honor the rights of people who don’t look like him in both the courtroom and the Senate chamber.

For that, his colleagues (from a political party that shall remain nameless) think him a traitor.

In the Senate, apparently, one’s duty to his constituency and his country are a distant second to his duty to his Senate bros. It’s this frat boy mentality that has made this the least effective Congress in the history of Congresses and driven their approval ratings down to the level of a post-“Bio-Dome” Pauly Shore.

I suppose it’s time to get used to this type of behavior from our representatives because any chance of raising the level of discourse flew out the window the moment those fleshy little orange fingers started hitting the send button on Twitter.

Cory Booker’s Testimony Against Sessions: A 2020 Campaign Kickoff?

January 14, 2017 17:26·

Attorney General-designate Sen. Jeff Sessions

Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., to serve as attorney general.

By contrast, Smith explained that he has come to know Sessions well: “I know Jeff Sessions”. The announcement comes as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer announced he would oppose the nomination and has been trying to twist arms to fall in line.

“It’s an honor for me to be here today to support Sen”.

“Sen. Sessions has callously ignored the reality of voter suppression but zealously prosecuted innocent civil rights leaders on trumped-up charges of voter fraud”, Mr. Brooks stated in a news release. However, it is not an unfair characterizing of their opposition to describe that opposition as one based on him being white, conservative and from Alabama.

Congressman John Lewis, who was beaten on the Edmund Pettis Bridge during the 1965 Selma to Montgomery marches, said that America needs someone who won’t be afraid to stand up and speak out against injustice. Smith said he planned on delivering a letter to the senator’s Mobile office, which spelled out reasons why the NAACP doesn’t believe Sessions is the qualified for the job. Yet, Democratic senators have insinuated that he is harboring well-hidden racism and, as Sen.

Cory Booker is a poseur and an embarrassment. “There is something very inconsistent about praising Sen”.

The New Jersey Democrat is planning to testify against the confirmation of Senator Sessions.

Manchin commented that “it wasn’t the Cory Booker I know” in front of the committee.

Blumenthal is a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which held its confirmation hearing on Sessions this week and may vote on the candidacy next week. “No racist could keep bigotry closeted for so long”. Senate Democrats will do all they can to bleed Trump’s nominees during the confirmation process, even though the Republican controlled Senate will ultimately confirm each one (barring a total collapse during questioning). “So they are resorting to their usual smear tactics, branding Sessions as a racist”, Mr. Blackwell wrote.

The Alabama Republican’s 30-year record of racial insensitivity, bias against immigrants, disregard for the rule of law, and hostility towards the protection of civil rights makes him unfit to serve as the Attorney General of the United States, insists civil rights leaders from The Leadership Conference, the National Action Network, the NAACP, the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc., NCAPA, NCLR and MALDEF (Mexican American Legal Defense Fund).

After his election in November, Mr. Trump nominated Senator Sessions

(The whole problem is for eight years, Obama and his administration have obstructed the laws and the Constitution of this country and now Booker and his fellow Democrats know if Sessions becomes the AG – America will have law and order which is something they don’t want.)

Cory Booker’s rocket is still on the launch pad.
