SHOCKER: KKK is Ok according to Dream Act Foe Sen. Sessions

The new ranking Republican member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen. Jeff Beauregard Sessions (R-AL), thought the KKK to be ok until Sessions soured on the racist group because of their pot use according to 1986 Senate hearings for Sessions' circuit court judge nomination. No wonder Sessions, the fierce Republican anti-immigrant demagogue, hates the Dream Act and immigration reform so much.

            And Figures--then an assistant U.S. Attorney--told the committee that "during a 1981 murder investigation involving the Ku Klux Klan, Sessions was heard by several colleagues commenting that he 'used to think they [the Klan] were OK' until he found out some of them were 'pot smokers.'"

            Figures said that Sessions had called him "boy" on a number of occasions, and had cautioned him to be careful what he said to "white folks. "Mr. Sessions admonished me to 'be careful what you say to white folks,'" Figures testified. "Had Mr. Sessions merely urged me to be careful what I said to 'folks,' that admonition would have been quite reasonable. But that was not the language that he used."<br />

In response to these allegations, Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) asked him if he'd ever objected to this behavior. Senator "Did you ever say anything to them? Did you ever say, knock it off, or quit it?"

Figures admitted he hadn't: "Senator, I felt that if I had said anything or reacted in a manner in which I thought appropriate, I would be fired. I always felt that my position was very tentative around Mr. Sessions."
