Twenty steps to GOP disaster last night. Follow the bouncing ball:

1. Sessions supports Trump.

2. Trump rewards Senator Sessions with attorney general slot. Sessions vacates seat.

3. Sessions immediately recuses himself from bogus "Russian" investigation.

4. Rod Rosenstein become de facto AG.

5. Trump fires FBI Director James Comey.

This administration is now in Sessions.

So much comes back to Sessions. He seemed an OK pick to me. He heads the DOJ and someone fairly conservative picks up his Senate seat. What's not to like?

Then he recuses himself and we get the Mueller fiasco. Then Roy Moore becomes the GOP candidate for the Senate seat. And here we are.

Sessions was a terrible pick. He is a big govt' control guy.

His zealotry of expanding Civil Asset Forfeiture puts him ahead of Obama in terms of tangibly-experienced-tyranny in my book.

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

CAF was definitely a mark against him. But he doesn't make law so that's up to Congress. And any pick would likely have promoted something I wouldn't like.

True, but while the FBI and Mueller go rogue to take down his President, the only thing that animates Jeffy is states legalizing pot.....which should be a states rights issue and have nothing to do with him.

I think the Fed nose under that tent is the interstate 'commerce' of illicit drugs. I would leave it to the states.

Promoting something you "wouldn't like" is one thing; you'd be very hard pressed to find many
candidates for office or picks for a cabinet who didn't promote at least one thing you don't like,
or oppose something you do like.

But promoting something that abrogates the Fourth Amendment for being well enough outside
the proper purview of the warrant requirement is something else entirely. (There are other
forums I can think of where to say that would get me denounced post haste and without
evidence as, say, a drug addict, since of course they only seize the assets of druggies
or their suppliers, right?)

Good thing he doesn't have his jones on about gambling. Not too long ago, a guy in my state
came out of a casino with fifty large in green cash money that he'd just won at that casino---
and got pounced on post haste by a local cop who had chicken noodles for brains, confiscated
his winnings, and told him to keep his mouth shut if he didn't want his car confiscated right
then and there. The winner didn't have chicken noodles for brains. He hired a lawyer, got
his winnings back, and forced the police department to fork over the attorney fees.

(Normally, if you win more than $1,199 in one pop at a casino, you have to fill out a tax form.
Your copy of it would normally be all the proof you needed that you bagged that large a wad
winning legally in the casino---but a cop with chicken noodles for brains wouldn't even let
you bring it to bear on the spot if he was feeling that ornery, even in my Nevada. I won
$9,600 in one pop at a casino last March---a random bonus play was how I hit for that much
money, which ended up paying for a new roof for my house---signed the tax form, and walked
out unmolested, but you never know when some cop suffering brain damage might pounce.)
