Jeff Sessions New Justice Department

CNN wrote an article about Alabama senator Jeff Sessions wand what the Justice Department may look like in the next four years. Senator Sessions was offered by president elect Donald Trump to be the next Attorney General. Sessions' main focus is on traditional criminal law like drug and immigration enforcement. Senator Session wants to take a look at the scope narrowly for federal authority and to emphasize deference to states. Many conservatives are supporters of this decision even senator Ted Cruz who was also considered for the same position. Cruz says that this is necessary change from the Obama administration. Cruz was speaking at the conservative Federalist Society and said "'Do not follow the example of the previous administration'" as he realized that many sitting before him may be in the new administration. Sessions already has one democrat backing him that is Senator Joe Manchin. Sessions considers Manchin as a friend and believes that he can work with him. Sessions has been on the Senate Judiciary committee for six years and the new Democrat to take over, Senator Dianne Feinstein, predicts that it will not be smooth sailing but she says that the process will still remain fair and a complete review of the new nominee.
