From Vox of all places.
Research says there are ways to reduce racial bias. Calling people racist isn’t one of them.

I understand where you are coming from. When some feel the AG nominee will not protect all people that should be a serious discussion.

That's exactly the problem when you label everyone racist.
The left is the boy who cried wolf too many times.
Will the AG be bad?

Possibly, but can he be worse than any of these tyrants?

On Dec. 10, 2015, Sessions  broke with most of his Republican Senate Judiciary Committee colleagues to vote against an amendment stating that the Senate would not create policies that discriminate based on religion. Of the committee’s 11 Republicans, 7––including John Cornyn, Chuck Grassley, and Mike Lee––voted for the amendment offer by Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy. But Sessions, joined by Ted Cruz and two other Republicans, voted against it.

That's your come back? That is one hell of defense for him. I thought maybe you were going to say he made a mistake trying to prosecute Albert Turner. Or that his position on the 1965 voting rights act was misunderstood.

So now Ted Cruz is a racist too.
Or maybe there are valid reasons for voting against, like not being so quick to accept Muslims in the country.

I would put in more time for an answer but you're the DA.

DJT was legally elected president. Period.

Why do you feel that his prosecution of Turner reflects badly upon him?
