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/

The Birth Certificate may be found in a number of places, but it may be found here:

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2008/06/obama-birth.html

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?

user-pic

But there are good people down there. Native Americans, Afro-Americans, even some white Americans who see justice and truth and a New America.

Just the wabbits. Kill all the wabbits

Wotan is not amused ...

Wotan looks down from his firey cloud..........

Maybe we can send him off on a hunting trip with Cheney...

user-pic

hahahah

user-pic

Hunting quail? Yes, birds of a feather get shot together.

I like it!

user-pic

But I luv wabbitts - next to teddy bwears they are my favwit.

user-pic

Hahahaha. I hate this guy Maggie. hahahahaa

user-pic

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.

user-pic

Maybe they can do the same damn thing to the pool guys Mark!!!!!!!!!

user-pic

Maybe get this guy


user-pic

Now THAT is funny!

Also.

user-pic

hahahahah, what a great sneer on poor Elmer. hahahaha

user-pic

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.

user-pic

Also!

user-pic

Amazing is he not? But do they really laugh. hahahahaha

Gun totin, bible thumpin....and they laugh.

How did this guy keep his lunch money in school?

I mean high school. hhahahahaha

user-pic

It's true, dd.

But do you know what Alabamians wake up every morning thinking?

Thank God for Mississippi!

user-pic

You're in rare form today. :)

user-pic

Good one, seashell!

user-pic

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.

user-pic

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.

user-pic

The rank member of the Judiciary Committee. ha

user-pic

Rank, indeed. :)

user-pic

Wascally Wepubwican.

user-pic

hahahahaha. See Jan every time. when I get that 1.5 second delay....hahhahahaha

Great thread you started, dd! Rec'd twice - if I could - once for the post, next for the comments! :)

Perhaps the weepublicans will pull
all the wild Alabama hares out of their party
and party on North to Alaska,
North the Rush is on…
(no offense to Alabama)
(no offense to Alaskans also too -
I betchu might feel elated
without your deer leader -
(no offense to deer or leaders)

Just fishfull thinkin’.
(no offense to fish, also)

Great read DD! Luv the animal toons!
Can’t stand that boll weevil, Beauregard.

user-pic

Nena Simone...I'm going home.........

Where do you, Grouch and some of these others come up with this stuff?

This is great and especially taken in conjunction with my friend Seashell's comment. ha!!!

user-pic

Why, I just hold up a seashell to my ear.

In my little corner of the civil rights movement - Compton, 1961 - Nina Simone was the Empress of the Universe.

user-pic

Are all Republican racists or just most of them? Just asking...

user-pic

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.

user-pic

To the GOP race seems to trump $$:
Fresh off the press...

The GOP's Young Hatemonger

You and OGD have me workin 45 minutes already this AM. Ha

I thought people were sick of talkin about this stuff.

Great stuff. I read Daily beast every day and I must have just scanned this article and 'tossed it away'...

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?

May 2009 @ HuffPo:

One of the most experienced federal judges in recent Alabama history is denouncing the U.S. Justice Department prosecution of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman. Retired Chief U.S. District Judge U.W. Clemon of Birmingham calls for a probe of misconduct by federal prosecutors ─ including their alleged "judge-shopping," jury-pool "poisoning" and "unfounded" criminal charges in an effort to imprison Siegelman.

www.huffingtonpost.com/andrew-kreig/siegelmans-first-trial-ju_b_206546.html

And from the past?

October 2007 in TPMMuckraker:

Siegelman's lawyers have long contended that the case stemmed from a political vendetta against the Democratic governor in a Republican-dominated state. Documents recently obtained by Time give traction to this claim, showing that investigators ignored allegations from a state lobbyist of wrongdoing by Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) and former state Attorney General William Pryor, but still initiated an investigation into Siegelman.

tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/004483.php

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.
