And Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III is one of the worst:
Appearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee as part of a Justice Department Oversight Hearing, Sessions was pressed by Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) as to his legal opinion about the compatibility of so-called religious liberty guidance emanating from the attorney general’s office and the obligations of federal employees who are hostile to LGBT rights.
Citing the guidance Sessions released to federal administrative agencies and executive departments–“Federal Law Protections for Religious Liberty“–on the question of LGBT rights, Durbin asked the following question:
Could a Social Security Administration employee refuse to accept or process spousal or survivor benefits paperwork for a surviving same-sex spouse?
Sessions paused, groaned, smirked, and then responded:
That’s something I never thought would arise, but I would have to give you a written answer to that–if you don’t mind?
Durbin replied that he would appreciate such a written response and then asked a similar question. He said, “Could a federal contractor refuse to provide services to LGBTQ people–including in emergencies–without risk of losing federal contracts.”
Again, Sessions demurred and said he’d need to look into it.
Session’s is a racist White Nationalist, Evangelical Christian who, like Pence, believes that he knows the “truth.”
Not even the Christ knew the “truth.”
Pilot asked him what the truth was and the Christ, smartly, would not answer.
It would probably, to Sessions, depend on whether or not the LGBT person was black, or had ever smoked marijuana.
