Leahy: Sessions’ Votes Against Immigration, Expansion of Domestic Violence Act ‘Worry Me’

RUSH EXCERPT: 
LEAHY: "Well, I get along well with him. He’s a good family person. But what I have to look at — this is for the chief law enforcement officer of the country. I was a prosecutor. I know how the justice Department works. I know the Justice Department has to be there for everybody. What I am concerned about with Senator Sessions, his votes against immigration, his vote, even one of the very few people to vote against the expansion of the violence against women act. Which added native Americans. Lgbt community. Immigrants. And included a reauthorization of sexual trafficking. He voted against that. Very few people did. That bothers me. Because the attorney general has to prosecute these kind of cases. His vote against my resolution which said that in the united States between all religions equally, he’s one of the very few that voted against that. That’s in our constitution. It’s in the first amendment. These kind of things worry me greatly."
