That's one of those questions that the democrats don't exactly like bringing up considering just about everyone did. (Not saying right or wrong).

As usual, Ted Cruz comes out and blows up the limp wristed snowflake, that was trying to use Fake News as his evidence. That was too KOOL!

It is never that I give Cruz any credit, but BAM! He nailed it and shut down that stupid meme that the liberals have been lying about regarding Sessions and the KKK.

Saw him and he did a great job.


I watched a lot of this and I thought Sessions did a great job holding his own.

For whoever asked about LGBT rights, he said he would uphold the law as it is. As with any law. That would be his job as AG.

A lot of those questions were not even of the job of the AG office.
What would you do... What if....

All he needed to do was answer, "Well, that is the job of congress is it not. I am there to enforce all law congress passes and the President signs into law."

"The Constitution does not give me, the AG, that authority" would have been the short sweet answer, to many of those virtue signaling questions.

Thank you for the info. So that's good for the LGBT folks.

What about marijuana? Will he respect state laws, or will he revoke the agreement Holder had with marijuana-friendly states?

What a joke.
The loony left still playing the same old race cards, somehow they have not gotten the memo that this crap just isn't going to work anymore.

Agreed and he did say that over and over. Not word for word.

Sorry I didn't hear about marijuana. I wasn't able to watch it all and the talking heads took over for awhile too. So, if it was brought up, I missed it. I am sure he said the same thing as LGBT rights.

They already know who he is.

I was watching the Cruz speech... he said only 40% of the Obama Justice Dept. actions to the Supreme Court were successful. The average is about 70% success with the Supreme Court. Many actions involved both Obama nominees voting against the Obama Justice Dept.
