"His rock-ribbed conservatism was forged in the deep poverty and isolation of rural Alabama, sharpened during 16 years as a federal prosecutor and state attorney general and polished as a senator. After one of the most liberal periods in Justice Department history, Mr. Sessions is expected to execute an about-face on the Obama administration’s policies of immigration, criminal justice and — many critics fear — civil rights.

He argues that immigrants are siphoning billions in welfare payments, committing crimes and snatching jobs from Americans. He has questioned whether the Constitution guarantees citizenship to anyone born in the United States, as the 14th Amendment states, and has insisted that the First Amendment doctrine of separation of church and state has been too broadly interpreted. Overreaching by the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, he has said, at times has led to “civil wrongs.”

He favors stiff, mandatory penalties for drug offenses, believes that the government has grown soft on crime and objects to what he sees as unwarranted criticism of police behavior.

Sessions offers an uncompromising brand of conservatism that combines Christian and small-government values with strains of populism and a willingness to say the unpopular, or even offensive. He speaks to a disenchanted electorate that includes the white, nationalistic fringes of his party. In short, he is a uniquely Trump nominee to lead the Justice Department.

“He has been the leader of this populist revolt against the political elite,” Stephen K. Bannon said in February.

Critics see Mr. Sessions as a throwback to a bygone South. “His whole life, he has been on the wrong side of every issue,” said Wayne Flynt, a politically progressive Alabama history professor who has followed his career for decades. On questions about voting and immigration, he said, “he has argued to narrow democracy, not broaden it.”"

Yes General Sessions is a throw back from the Old South in the 21st Century.

Well, Sessions just recused himself from any possible Clinton investigation or prosecution, so there's another thing that won't be happening.
 
something for Attorney General Sessions to work on:

only 20 percent of rapes are reported to the police in the United States, a statistic that defies comprehension until one looks closely at how rape cases are adjudicated in the criminal justice system.
