The one thing I remember Sessions for as a Senator was his constant flogging of enhanced civil forfeiture penalties. U thought he was a FBI legislative stooge back then. Anyone know anything positive about his career?

That and making the early Trump admin look like old Puritanical fogies by going after marijuana like it was THE! ONE! SINGLE! PROBLEM! THE! US! FACED! was about all he actually did. And he was pushing for *massive* expansion of pre-conviction civil forfeiture - read: enriching the government at the expense of the possibly innocent accused, with the victims never getting their possessions back even if no charges were ever filed or if they were acquitted - for pretty much any offense he thought he could get away with.

Think about that, Sessions supporters. Sessions wanted the government to be able to take everything you own and auction it off on the mere *accusation* of a Federal crime. This is what you support???
