Praises Thurmond's commitment to "law and order" and Thurmond's successful push to destroy parole and severely curtail bail in the federal criminal justice system; thanks Thurmond profusely for his unwavering support during Sessions's failed 1986 U.S. district judge nomination. Perhaps most significantly, Sessions ends with a statement he admits "some might think it not politically correct" lauding Thurmond in particular for representing his "region, as a Southerner." This is obvious code for "Confederate heritage" and its racism, which Sessions almost goes out of his way to make more obvious with his "politically correct" remark. close
