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?
Finally, if you care, who are Elmer's top 'contributors'? http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/summary.php?cid=N00003062
What a thurprithe!!. Big corporate pigs. But one funny note. He contributes
ABSOLUTELY NOTHIN!!! HAHHAHAHA. I do not know why that strikes me as sooooooooo
funny.

















Can't we just saw Alabama off and let it drift away into the Gulf?

If I remember right that KKK trial was about a lynching in Mobile. Morris Dees of the Southern Poverty Law Center, the nemesis of clowns like Sessions and all neo-nazis, klan members and racists in general filed a civil suit against the klan on behalf of the kid's mother and forced them
to sell their clubhouse to pay her off in the settlement.

Sessions is a particularly nasty brand of Republican.
As I've said a million times, Georgia cannot claim it is a bastion of deep thinkers, but even Georgians laugh at Alabamians.

The whole thing is so strange. He's a klansman (or ex, whatever), he thought the klan was A-okay, till he found out some smoked pot, almost got to a federal judge but was scandalized in the process, and now he's sitting in judgement over Sotomayor.
Just looking at him has at least *some* of the aspects of viewing a freak show.

Now is the time to take a cue from the Republican Party. If they can call the Democratic Party the Democrat Party, then it is only fair to call their ranking member their rank member. I'll accept reeking as an alternative.

Are all Republican racists or just most of them? Just asking...
July 10, 2009 8:17 AM | Reply | Permalink
If they are not....they are supporters of the caste system in this country and seek out and find minorities to help them in their quest for support of the oligarchy that runs everything.
Like the North after Grant, the New Repubs are trying to bury the racism and get on with the new quest----making money. Ha!!
It is something how the North has gotten rid of all those repub senators Steve. All of them.
And the number of northern repub reps in Congress, GOING DOWN.
Steve King and Beauregard would get along just fine.

Ah Hah ... Beauregard . . .
With out a tree, without a rope.
Simply hang men with slander and words.
Read U.W. Clemon in 1974. Birmingham Action Group?
Beauregard is one of them thar good ol' boys...
And who is U.W. Clemon?
And Judge Clemon's latest efforts?
And from the past?
October 2007 in TPMMuckraker:
I'm sure you'll find it all quite interesting DD . . .

This brought a tear or two OGD:
"On a personal note, I am ecstatic over your election. ... It has been my lifelong dream that, at some point in the indefinite future, a black American would be elected president of the United States."
Clemon, who as a lawyer, handled landmark civil rights cases before his lifetime appointment by President Carter in 1980, said he delayed his retirement so Obama could choose his successor.
"Your inauguration afforded me the unique opportunity of leaving this position as one whose dream has been fulfilled much sooner than expected," wrote Clemon, who has also served as a state senator.
"In the time I have served as a federal trial judge, I have conscientiously tried to administer fair and impartial justice under the law, tempered with generous drops of mercy," Clemon wrote.
I, of course, bookmarked the other link...there are so many links in the link, so to speak.
There were the 'silly things' growing up in the north. One year you got Lincoln's Birthday off, and the next year you got Washington's off.
Then, of course, there were the stories of murder and mayhem. My goodness, where did all those 'riots' come from?
I am working on a little Toqueville--he does little sections on slavery and such and predicts the problems associated with 'desegregation'.
I picture Judge Clemon in November of last year.
Hah!!!
Good to see you OGD.
I do find all this soooooo interesting.
