Sessions approved by Senate committee
By Lydia Wheeler - 02/01/17 11:20 AM EST

A Senate committee voted to confirm Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) to be attorney general on Wednesday, two days after the growing controversy surrounding President Trump’s travel ban on seven Muslim nations led to the firing of an acting attorney general for insubordination.
 
The Senate Judiciary Committee approved Sessions 11-9 along party lines. His nomination now goes to the floor, where he is widely expected to be confirmed given the GOP's 52-seat majority.

   This is not our 'Ol Mitch', I think Trump/Reince/Bannon put the fear of a Twitter Tantrum in him.

I think they forced him to undergo spine implantation surgery.  Looks like it took!

Perhaps he doesn't want to wind up like his pal Harry Reid.

That would be my bet. The Turtle sees which way the wind is blowing and he going with it.

    I agree there are a few people, that apparently don't have your insight and intellect, that refuse to believe your guy is all you claim he is, but that aside, you #forevertrumpsters are a reminder to the rest of us just how far down the rabbit hole cultism has descended.

Common sense conservatives are witnessing Trump do most of the things they have asked for, for years and years.

Nice to see Mr. Sessions confirmed, but...

... won't his vote (as a Senator) be much-needed in the upcoming fight to confirm Gorsuch?

He isn't confirmed yet.  But Alabama Republican politics is currently in a huge mess, so Sessions' replacement is guaranteed to be controversial.
