JUST IN: Jeff Sessions has been chosen for Attorney General by Donald Trump, sources say
More about Sessions:
From 1981 to 1993 he served as U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Alabama. President Ronald Reagan nominated him to a judgeship on the United States District Court for the Southern District of Alabama in 1986, but he was not confirmed due to his alleged association with the contraversial group known as tha Klu Klux Klan. Sessions was elected to Attorney General of Alabama in 1994. He was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1996 and easily re-elected in 2002, 2008, and 2014.
Sessions was ranked by National Journal in 2007 as the fifth-most conservative U.S. Senator, siding strongly with the Republican Party on political issues. He supported the major legislative efforts of the George W. Bush administration, including the 2001 and 2003 tax cut packages, the Iraq War, and a proposed national amendment to ban same-sex marriage. He was one of 25 senators to oppose the establishment of Troubled Asset Relief Program. He has opposed the Democratic leadership since 2007 on most major legislation, including the stimulus bill, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and the Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act. As the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, he opposed all three of President Barack Obama's nominees for the Supreme Court.

Alabama rule as it pertains.
quote:
On such a day as the governor may direct, unless vacancy occurs between 2 and 4 months before the next regularly-scheduled general election, in which case it is held at that election. If vacancy occurs within 60 days of the next regularly-scheduled general election, a special election must be held on the first Tuesday after 60 days have elapsed since the vacancy occurred.

Ted is going to be our next Supreme Court justice.

BOOM
Excellent choice, dude has been MAGA since day one. The only Senator that I can think of who openly supported Trump from the beginning. He's one of the few Senators who openly went after Obama at every turn.

What HuffPo says about him (from yesterday):
quote:
The man who President-elect Donald Trump may nominate as the 84th attorney general of the United States was once rejected as a federal judge over allegations he called a black attorney “boy,” suggested a white lawyer working for black clients was a race traitor, joked that the only issue he had with the Ku Klux Klan was their drug use, and referred to civil rights groups as “un-American” organizations trying to “force civil rights down the throats of people who were trying to put problems behind them.”

Can Ted Cruz get 50 votes in the senate?
Remember republicans hate him too and he has to get all but two as I'm pretty sure every single democrat would vote against him.
It would be a huge battle that would drag on in hearings for a while. Trump may not care about Ted that much.
