Indeed. The record is clear. Here are eight reasons why the Senate must reject Sessions.
If Jefferson B. Sessions were confirmed by the Senate in 2017, we would have have an attorney general who, as a senator:
Applauded the Supreme Court?s 2013 Shelby County v. Holder decision, which gutted key provisions of the Voting Rights Act of 1865.
Voted against reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act.
Voted yes on a constitutional ban of same-sex marriage.
Opposed the repeal of ?don?t ask, don?t tell.?
Opposed the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act.
Voted to ease restrictions on wiretapping of cell-phones.
Voted to abolish a program that helps businesses owned by women and minorities compete for federally funded transportation projects.
Opposed comprehensive immigration reform and nearly every immigration bill that has come before the Senate over the past two decades, including voting against a Senate resolution affirming that the United States must not bar people from the country because of their religion.
The positions and policies Senator Sessions has supported do not uplift America?s shared values of love, justice and mercy.
Like George Wallace before him, Jeff Sessions is a faithful member of the United Methodist Church in Alabama. But he has not in half a century of public life demonstrated any willingness to turn from evil and learn to do good.
The positions and policies Senator Sessions has supported do not uplift America?s shared values of love, justice and mercy, despite his trappings of respectability and declarations of faith. He has neither repented of his wrongdoing nor committed to change. So we must reject his nomination and the nomination of any candidate for Attorney General who poses a threat to equal justice and the freedoms we hold dear.
When those who wield the power of the state deprive the people of these freedoms, citizens in general and the U.S. Department of Justice in particular must resist their injustice and hold them accountable. Senator Sessions is clearly unfit for the role of Attorney General.

Did he legally obtain the weapon and ammunition? Did he legally pack it in his stowed luggage?
Our gun laws are so fucking weak, but let's get ready for the "IF EVERYONE HAD A GUN....." response.
Everyone knows, the only thing that makes this stop is more guns :facepalm:
