Byron York: Senate Democrats plan to 'Ashcroft' their good friend Jeff Sessions
By Byron York (@ByronYork) • 11/30/16 6:56 AM

There's been talk among some conservatives and Republicans that Democrats are plotting to "Bork" the nomination of Sen. Jeff Sessions to be attorney general. That's not right. What Democrats really hope to do is to "Ashcroft" the man soon-to-be Minority Leader Charles Schumer likes to call "my good friend from Alabama." Sessions' supporters have expected it from the moment President-elect Trump made the Alabama senator his first Cabinet pick.

Sixteen years ago, John Ashcroft was a Republican senator nominated by a Republican president who lost the popular vote but won the Electoral College after a particularly contentious election.

If Trump is smart, he'll tell Mitch 'Obama's Bitch' McConnell that it's time to end the filibuster.

Who cares if the Rats play this game? Ashcroft still got the job and that is all that most Americans saw. This is not the 80's where people watch these hearings.

BTW, this confirmation hearing didn't hurt Ashcroft. Him throwing sheets over long installed statues at the Justice Dept is what made him the horses ass he became in pop culture.

And the MSM certainly doesn't have the credibility it had in the 80s. Let the democrats bring it.

Ashcroft was confirmed. That's all we need to know.

Already done. Reid did it a few years back. Sessions is one and done as long as no GOPers defect.
