With today’s news that Jeff Sessions will assume the top GOP slot on the Judiciary Committee, Senate Republicans confirmed that they remain subservient to the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Tony Perkins and James Dobson. 
Eric Cantor, Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush can talk about reinventing the GOP until they’re blue in the face but it’s all for naught if the party doesn’t back up its words with actions.
Making a crimson-red conservative like Sessions the GOP’s top spokesperson for the upcoming judicial wars confirms that the GOP isn’t serious about changing.
One other thought: Jon Kyl would have been a much better pick in terms of preserving comity in the Senate. He’s red as a rose but is reasonable and temperate. He apparently didn’t want to give up his leadership post.
