Jefferson Beauregard "Jeff" Sessions
III (born December 24, 1946) is the junior United States Senator from Alabama. He is a
member of the Republican Party, and the new
ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee
Beauregard. I mean you cannot make this shit up. Really!!!!!
But let us examine this man's record and his words.
THE PROSECUTOR
Beauregard was a civil rights attorney. Did you know that? Well I did not.
Actually he was a civil rights prosecuting attorney.
The Hinterland Gazette:
Still,
there's more throwback theater on Sessions. He had unsuccessfully prosecuted
three civil rights workers, known as the "Marion Three," including Albert Turner, who
was a former aide to Martin Luther King Jr., on a case of election
fraud for the 1984 election. http://blackpoliticalthought.blogspot.com/2009/05/senator-jeff-sessions-who-has-shady.html
That's right, Beauregard did everything in his power to prosecute those
seeking civil rights in this country; well in Alabama
anyway. Not really part of my
country. But I digress.
He investigated and investigated and investigated and out of 1.7 million
votes, HE FOUND 14 THAT LOOK THUTHPITHIOUS.
Of course, they had all been cast by Black People in Alabama.
Senate Democrats tracked down a career Justice Department
employee named J. Gerald Hebert, who testified, albeit reluctantly, that in a
conversation between the two men Sessions had labeled the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the American Civil Liberties
Union (ACLU ) "un-American" and "Communist-inspired."
Hebert said Sessions had claimed these groups "forced civil rights down
the throats of people."
Hebert testified that the young lawyer tended to "pop
off" on such topics regularly, noting that Sessions had called a white
civil rights lawyer a "disgrace to his race" for litigating voting
rights cases. Sessions acknowledged making many of the statements attributed to
him but claimed that most of the time he had been joking, saying he was
sometimes "loose with [his] tongue." He further admitted to calling
the Voting Rights Act of 1965 a "piece of intrusive legislation," a
phrase he stood behind even in his confirmation hearings....
Another damaging witness--a black former assistant U.S. Attorney in Alabama
named Thomas Figures--testified that, during a 1981 murder investigation involving
the Ku Klux Klan, Sessions was heard by several colleagues commenting that he
"used to think they [the Klan] were OK" until he found out some of
them were "pot smokers."
And after carefully reviewing Sessions' record, Republicans in Washington
took appropriate measures to limit his influence gave him an extremely
influential position in the Senate. It'll be...enlightening...to hear
conservatives defend the move, or, better yet, excuse it on the grounds that
the GOP's only giving these views special prominence for about a year and a
half. http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/05/senator-who-praised-segregationist-judges-will-lead-opposition-to-obama-nominees.php
So basically, Elmer loved calling those who were for freedom and justice and the American Way, "Communists".
A site called Snitch found this tidbit right out of Beauregard's own mouth:
Well, I think what we tried to do is
give the taxpayers the best return on their dollar. There are more drug cases
than you can prosecute, good cases, and so we just demanded a lot of our
prosecutors and ask[ed] them to move those cases and try them effectively, and
I think they did a good job of that.
The federal sentencing guidelines set
some mandatory minimums and they also set ranges in every case within which a
judge must sentence. And all I ask[ed] our lawyers to do was to be honest, to
present the evidence they have, and ask the judge to sentence appropriately
within the guidelines, and they were narrow. It was likely to be 24 to 30
months. If a judge likes you, he'd give you 24 months. If he didn't, he gave
you 30. But the guidelines were pretty narrow. Sometimes, the sentences were
tough. You'd have a 25-year-old who's been selling for a long time getting 15
to 18 years in jail, pretty tough sentences. But as they say, if you can't do
the time, don't do the crime. ... http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/snitch/procon/sessions.html
2.5 million of our citizens (x-citizens now of course) in prison, 5.5
million more on parole/probation. If
Beauregard had his way, we could turn that up a notch. I mean this guy desired more bang for his prison buck.
How about twenty-five million in prison? He could have cleaned up this country. Boy that would put the white majority in power, would it not?
THE BIRTHER
Besides being a Bircher, Beauregard is also a birther. Let us take a walk back
to December of last year when he wrote a letter to the Electoral College:
Citizen Wells (12/30/08):
We are contacting you now. Congress
meets on January 8, 2008
to count and validate the Electoral College Votes. We are asking you carry out your oath of office and request proof of eligibility from Obama, a candidate who is not a natural born citizen and probably is an illegal alien. I am certain this is within the realm of your "jurisdiction." http://citizenwells.wordpress.com/2008/12/30/senator-jeff-sessions-alabama-us-constitution-hall-of-shame-obama-not-eligible-us-congress-electoral-college-votes-obama%E2%80%99s-eligibility-must-be-challenged-al-senator/

They used to spend more time showing this document on Cable News, but it got
tiring, I guess. Please book mark this
for future disputes. Or, even better,
PRINT THE FRICKING THING OUT and always carry a copy with you so that when some
poor uneducated fool brings up the subject, you can say:
Well that is all well and good, but.....
And then shove the fricking thing up the idiot's ..........
THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
Boston.com (9/23/06):
``I don't know what the CIA has been doing, nor should I know," said Senator Jeff Sessions, an Alabama Republican. http://www.boston.com/news/nation/washington/articles/2006/09/23/congress_in_dark_on_terror_program/
Twenty years ago, this racist prick tried to be appointed to the U.S. Court
of Appeals. Can we guess how he would
rule on unwarranted wire-taps?
