led to on impeachment allegation. he was a republican governor. this was a serious thing and they started an impeachment investigation against him, until big luther, state attorney general intervened to stop it. he came to the legislature, and he told them they should hold off on that impeachment investigation because this was a law enforcement matter first and foremost. and as the senior law enforcement official in alabama, he and the attorney general s office would be handling that. so they shouldn t let their little legislative inquiry get in the way of the real investigation. and the speaker of the house in alabama and the chair of the judiciary committee in alabama, they said okay. they stood down. they said we ll wait to hear from the ag s office and how they re going to handle it. we will put impeachment proceedings against the governor on hold. now, meanwhile, the united states of america had a presidential election with the surprising result that donald trump was elected presi
nominee installed on the court, say goodbye to legal abortion in the united states, and a lot of other things besides. justice kennedy was the deciding vote, seriously, on the issue of executing children, which presumably trump republicans will now want to try to bring back, and now anthony kennedy won t be in their way. kennedy was the deciding vote on same-sex marriage rights and all sorts of other things. if you just look at that overturn roe versus wade pledge from donald trump, just look at that part of it, and then do that very simple math again, right? bye-bye, luther strange, hello doug jones. democrats are at 49 seats. they only need one republican to peel off. now, no matter the specific policy positions or the liberalness or the conservatism or the complicated home state politics of any particular democratic senator, no democratic senator has a reason to volunteer to be a doormat on the issue of the supreme court, right? democrats as a unified block, every single one of them
even to the point they were talking about succession plans. there are those in the white house who talk the president out of that including steve bannon when he was still there. sessions remains very popular among the conservative base, he remains very popular among his former colleagues in the senate, and that there was a fear that and a lot of republicans feel like he s doing good things in doj. trump has backed off a little bit on the idea of firing him, but he s still mad, to the point where even he blames sessions in part for the roy moore debacle in alabama. thinking, well, if i had known jeff sessions was going to recuse himself, i never would have appointed him attorney general. that senate seat never would have opened up and i never would have gotten into the mess with roy moore and republicans wouldn t have lost a seat. and the nickname big luther would not be as important as it is today. robert, no matter how much he as a reality television star kind of marketed an expre
