In an editorial entitled “A Failure of Leadership,” the New York Times took immigration-reform obstructionists like Jeff Sessions to task:
The immigration compromise collapsed on the floor of the Senate Thursday night. Many of its hard-line foes are celebrating, but their glee is vindictive and hollow. They have blocked one avenue to an immigration overhaul […]
The Washington Times reports on growing discord within the Republican party over the immigration bill:
President Bush yesterday rebuked members of his own political party for trying to “frighten people” into opposing his immigration bill, prompting a quick backlash from some Republicans.
“Those determined to find fault with this bill will always be able to look at […]
Left in Alabama dug up video of Jeff Sessions’ recent performance on the floor of the Senate. It’s cringe-inducing in parts:

During Tuesday’s immigration debate on the floor of the Senate, Jeff Sessions secured and had to fill three hours of time. We’ve already mentioned how he spent some of that time trying to explain how a bill becomes a law.
As Joe has pointed out, listening to Sessions for three hours has got to be one […]
I first saw this story on Wonkette, but I wasn’t sure if that counted as a reliable source. But then CNN confirmed that our most distinguished senator embarrassed himself and the entire state of Alabama by taking to the floor of the US Senate for three hours with a Schoolhouse Rock poster by his side.

A compromise on a new immigration policy has been hammered out. Members of both parties and the White House see it as a step in the right direction. It is not […]
In an editorial denigrating the proposed immigration plan, the Washington Times describes Jeff Sessions as “the Alabama Republican who is likely to lead the fight to save the nation from this disaster.” Apparently, the Moonies at the Times have quite a high regard for Sessions.
I just thought y’all would enjoy getting a chuckle out of […]
From the AP:
Sen. Sessions says he’s not ready to rubber stamp legislation
That headline might give readers the impression that Jeff Sessions is an independent voice for the people of Alabama. They might even think he’s a senator who either votes his own conscience or in his constituents’ interests.
Too bad there’s absolutely no merit for that. […]
A friend of Rush Limbaugh is certainly no friend of mine:
The place to aim at this is the people who are doing the legislation, and that’s in the Senate. Now, I will not forget Jeff Sessions, a good friend, senator from Alabama. We had a bite last week. Jeff Sessions was out there saying, […]
Over the next 18 months, I’m sure that we’ll hear Jeff Sessions refer to himself as the “family values candidate” on several occasions. We’re already hearing phrasing such as “continue to bring Alabama values to Washington, D.C.” However, Sessions’ stance on family values seems especially hypocritical and inconsistent considering his stance on a guest worker […]
