I think the scale should be 21-0.

That's just a thought though ;)

A 5 speaking in terms of illegal immigration. Hopefully federal law will change and allow states to dictate their own marijuana policy. That seems to be everyone's concern with him.

I have nothing against the guy and I think the whole racist thing was a load of bs, but his stance on mj makes him seem like an outdated barely functioning retard.

"In 1985, three civil rights leaders — Albert Turner, his wife Evelyn and Spencer Hogue Jr. — were unanimously acquitted of election fraud charges brought by a prosecution led by Sessions, who then served as US Attorney for the Southern District of Alabama (for a news report on the case from 1985, go here). The lawyers for the defendants claimed that the government pursued the case to intimidate black voters.

Former Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick (D) represented Hogue in the trial and sent a scathing letter to the Judiciary Committee last week.

“Pursuing that case was an act of extraordinary quasi-judicial activism,” Patrick wrote. “To use prosecutorial discretion to attempt to criminalize voter assistance is wrong and should be disqualifying for any aspirant to the Nation’s highest law enforcement post.”

The Marion Three case factored heavily into the committee’s rejection of Sessions in 1986 and, although highly unlikely, it could once again derail the nomination this time around.

That makes the words of one of the defense attorneys from 1985 particularly prescient — although possibly in a different way than he intended.

“This case has historic importance,” Morton Stavis told the Marion Three jury in his closing arguments more than 30 years ago. “You will have a great deal of impact on our democracy in this area.”

-10. He not only facilitated collusion with a hostile state in order to get trump elected against the will of the majority of the people, he wants to now change laws to prosecute medical marijuana. He would prefer cancer patients suffer in pain. He is a POS and our founders are rolling in their graves with this administration full of Benedict Arnolds.

About a 0.05, in other words, abyssal.

Of course it was. How many African Americans that worked under him were needed to come forward and testify in his favor to prove that? His son-in-law is Asian for God's sake. The left makes no sense, and since the media doesn't hold them accountable, they can say whatever the frick they want without having to answer for it.

I applaud his efforts to:

End the Eric Holder slush fund
Try and give some teeth back to border patrol enforcement



He loses me at:

The war on drugs crap
Mandatory minimums
Asset forfeiture positions

Keeping in the range of your scale, I'd rate Holder and Lynch as a one. Sessions has been at least 10 times better than those two. So, I'd have to say he is a ten.
