President-elect Donald Trump's selection of U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions to be attorney general engendered intense reactions because of the Senator's history on racial justice and stated views on immigration.
The Attorney General is charged with defending and pursuing Justice. Mr. Sessions instead will most likely push for wholesale changes and hard-line stances on immigration, terrorism, crime, drugs and guns. Further, he would wipe away progress in civil rights, changes in sentencing and police accountability.
Why is this important?
The Attorney General's Office can not be occupied by a neo-confederate that will not ensure Justice for all Americans.
