Outlines Goals: Confirmation Hearings and Jeff Sessions

outlines goals: He faces a tougher task in persuading skeptical Democrats he'll be fair and committed to civil rights as the country's top law enforcement official, according to The Chronicle Herald. The office of the Attorney General of the United States is not a political position, and anyone who holds it must have total fidelity to the laws and the Constitution of the United States, Sessions said in prepared testimony that also outlines goals of beefed-up drug, gun and immigration enforcement. Jeff Sessions, Donald Trump's pick for attorney general, will outline his conservative priorities for the Justice Department as his confirmation hearings open Tuesday. Sessions also said he understands the history of civil rights and the horrendous impact that relentless and systemic discrimination and the denial of voting rights has had on our African-American brothers and sisters. Democrats are expected to use the two days of hearings to challenge Sessions' commitment to civil rights, a chief priority of the Justice Department during the Obama administration.
