I see you did not answer the question as to why Sessions voted for Holder and took pains to ensure he praised him as well. Now we are cursed with a AG still in office that is the first one under House contempt in our history.

I did address it. You just didn't like the answer. If Sessions had voted against Holder, it would not have prevented his confirmation. The votes just weren't there. After the 2008 election, the Dems had total control over Congress including the Senate. It is how they rammed Obamacare down our throats.

Ted Cruz And Jeff Sessions Stand Almost Alone Against Amnesty

Exactly. There is such a thing as political reality.

“I did address it. You just didn’t like the answer. If Sessions had voted against Holder, it would not have prevented his confirmation. The votes just weren’t there”

So let me get this straight: When you are in a position you are likely to not get your way, you join the other side and offer praise.

Why not stand on your principles and say NO instead of going to the dark side? At least do not go along by saying the evil man is a ‘decent human being’.

Ted would never compromise his morals. As an example, he refused to support fellow Senator John Cornyn during the GOP primary earlier this year. That is the senior Senator of Texas, a fellow Texan, and in line to become Majority Leader and hand out goodies.

If you do not see the obvious with the fallacy of what Sessions did, then you are have little hope.
