Are right wingers preparing their next salvo against Jeff Sessions?
Edited on Tue May-12-09 10:09 PM by ck4829
Sen. Jeff Sessions, the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee, said Monday he had no problem supporting an openly gay nominee to the Supreme Court.

“I can vote for a gay nominee – we’ll just have to see,” Sessions (R-Ala.) told reporters Monday afternoon. “That’s just not the test really; the thing that I’m concerned about is high legal quality.”

Sessions’ comments were the most explicit to date on the subject of whether he could support a gay nominee. Sessions, whom the GOP has tapped as their primary voice on the Supreme Court nomination, also wouldn’t say whether a nominee’s support for the controversial Roe v. Wade decision upholding abortion rights would be a disqualifying factor.

Well Jeff, I sure hope you liked your position you're at right now. Because you're about to start fighting for it.

1. Ah-ha!
Sure he'll support a gay nominee, but what if the nominee is gay and BLACK?

Uh-huh. Then, Sessions is in big trouble, no?
