Former Senate Judiciary Committee Chief Counsel: Democrat Campaign Against Sessions ‘All a Big Charade’
(CNSNews.com) -- William Smith, who was the first African American to serve as chief counsel for the Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee, says that the campaign that Democrats have launched to stop the confirmation of Sen. Jeff Sessions (R.-Ala.) to serve as attorney general--because of his alleged racial insensitivity [1]--is a "big charade" designed to divert public attention from their policy differences with him.
On Wednesday, Senate Assistant Minority Leader Dick Durbin [2] (D-IL) told reporters that “elements” in Sessions’ background “raise questions” about whether he should be confirmed as attorney general.
