Wikipedia editors are filling it out:
In 1986, Reagan nominated Sessions to be a judge of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Alabama.[12] Sessions's judicial nomination was recommended and actively backed by Republican Alabama Senator Jeremiah Denton.[13] A substantial majority of the American Bar Association Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary, which rates nominees to the federal bench, rated Sessions "qualified," with a minority voting that Sessions was "not qualified."[14]
At Sessions' confirmation hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee, four Department of Justice lawyers who had worked with Sessions testified that he had made several racist statements. One of those lawyers, J. Gerald Hebert, testified that Sessions had referred to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) as "un-American" and "Communist-inspired" because they "forced civil rights down the throats of people."[15]
Thomas Figures, a black Assistant U.S. Attorney, testified that Sessions said he thought the Ku Klux Klan was "OK until I found out they smoked pot." Sessions later said that the comment was not serious, but did apologize for it.[16] Figures also testified that on one occasion, when the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division sent the office instructions to investigate a case that Sessions had tried to close, Figures and Sessions "had a very spirited discussion regarding how the Hodge case should then be handled; in the course of that argument, Mr. Sessions threw the file on a table, and remarked, 'I wish I could decline on all of them,'" by which Figures said Sessions meant civil rights cases generally. After becoming Ranking Member of the Judiciary Committee, Sessions was asked in an interview about his civil rights record as a U.S Attorney. He denied that he had not sufficiently pursued civil rights cases, saying that "when I was [a U.S. Attorney], I signed 10 pleadings attacking segregation or the remnants of segregation, where we as part of the Department of Justice, we sought desegregation remedies."[17]
Figures also said that Sessions had called him "boy."[12] He also testified that "Mr. Sessions admonished me to 'be careful what you say to white folks.'"[18] Sessions was also reported to have called a white civil rights attorney a "disgrace to his race."[19]
Sessions responded to the testimony by denying the allegations, saying his remarks were taken out of context or meant in jest, and also stating that groups could be considered un-American when "they involve themselves in un-American positions" on foreign policy. Sessions said during testimony that he considered the Klan to be "a force for hatred and bigotry." In regards to the marijuana quote, Sessions said the comment was a joke but apologized.[16]
In response to a question from Joe Biden on whether he had called the NAACP and other civil rights organizations "un-American", Sessions replied "I'm often loose with my tongue. I may have said something about the NAACP being un-American or Communist, but I meant no harm by it."[14]

Surprised? Gulliani and the rest of the ilk at Fox News already call them a terrorist organization. It's a wrap for them BLM niccas. At least with the Dems, they had someone who was willing to listen and invite them into the conversation. Finito

Whats unbelievable is the people saying "what difference does it make"
Like as if the AG has zero power in America. Then why appoint someone to the highest legal office in America? They cant do anything right? Eric Holder didn't do anything? Or are you just too lazy and incompetant to google it?

If we are talking about idiots who find nasheed insightful then ok. If we are talking about leftists on here then it's a ridiculous point. No left wing person on here has claimed that to my knowledge for as long as I've been here.
Schumer just said he will question Sessions about the Civil Rights department at the DoJ at the hearing
