Sessions committee vote is tomorrow morning, Jan. 31
Call your senators bright and early, ESPECIALLY if they’re on the judicial committee (listed below). Call them every day and demand they vote no on the grounds that Jeff Sessions is unlikely to act in the interests of all Americans based on his history. Pressure Manchin (D-WV) especially as he was going to vote yes on Sessions’ confirmation, but is turning around.
The judicial committee is unlikely to kill the confirmation so we’re looking at a full Senate vote, which the Republicans will win if several do not cross the aisle. If your senator is wavering, push them towards no.
As a reminder, Stephen Miller, the guy who is partly responsible for Trump’s inauguration speech, the guy who’s Richard Spencer’s good buddy, and the guy who basically drafted the Muslim ban, is a former Sessions staffer (chief of communications). The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
