Keep on talking Jeff Sessions.  As you recall from an earlier post Jeff Session is a Republican Senator from Alabama who was picked by the GOP to be their top member on the Judiciary Committee.  They want him to lead the conservatives fight against Obama's future Supreme Court nominee.  However Sessions has a problem, he is a bit racist.  From Politico:

During the 1986 confirmation process[Sessions was rejected as a Federal Judge], Sessions was accused of unfairly targeting black civil rights workers for election fraud charges as a federal prosecutor. A black lawyer under Sessions in the U.S. attorney’s office accused him of saying he thought the Ku Klux Klan was “OK” until he found out some of its members were “pot smokers.”

Sessions said the statement was meant as a joke and unfairly taken out of context.

But the confirmation process also revealed that Sessions had once called the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the American Civil Liberties Union “un-American” and “communist-inspired.”

Sessions, who spoke with Obama on Tuesday about the Supreme Court vacancy, told POLITICO that those comments were made in a private conversation he had with an African-American on his staff in the U.S. attorney’s office — and that they were taken out of context.

Sure they were.  People go around everyday and joke how they believe the Ku Klux Klan is "OK."  What a genius.  But what's even more genius is how the Republicans decided to make this moron be their point man on this issue.  A guy from Alabama with a bit of a racist problem is going to lead the fight against Obama's nominee, who could very likely be a minority themselves.  Good luck with that.  And they wonder why everone thinks the Republican Party is a joke.

One other bit of intersting news came out of this interview.  Apparently Jeff Sessions came out in support of gay marriage:

I believe everybody has equal rights under the law...

Is that right Jeff?  After a second thought, I don't think he meant to have gay people included in that statement.  Call it a hunch.
