WASHINGTON, DC – Attorney General Jeff Sessions has had a busy first year as one of President Donald Trump’s earliest and most committed supporters, one who now leads one of the most powerful departments in the federal government.
“We inherited from our Founders—and have advanced—an unsurpassed legal heritage, which is the foundation of our freedom, safety, and prosperity,” Sessions declared when he announced opposition to granting DACA amnesty to illegal aliens without Congress. “As the attorney general, it is my duty to ensure that the laws of the United States are enforced and that the constitutional order is upheld.”
That has proven to be the theme of Sessions’ first year leading the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) on behalf of President Trump.
“No greater good can be done for the overall health and well-being of our Republic than preserving and strengthening the impartial rule of law,” the attorney general added.
DOJ released data and specifics regarding Sessions’ efforts along those lines during the first year of the Trump administration.
Rule of Law
Sessions has taken concrete steps to restore the rule of law.
He has prohibited settlement payments with taxpayer dollars to third-party interest groups that used those resources from the previous administration to fund leftwing agendas. He ended DACA, as well as cost-sharing payments under Obamacare that had already been ruled illegal by a federal court because Congress never appropriated the funds that the Obama administration was funneling to insurance companies.
Regarding executive actions, President Donald Trump issued Executive Order 13777 on February 24, 2017, to “alleviate unnecessary regulatory burdens placed on the American people.”
To implement that executive order, Sessions issued a memorandum within DOJ on November 16, announcing, “Effective immediately, Department components may not issue guidance documents that purport to create rights or obligations binding on persons or entities outside the Executive Branch ….” All such policy pronouncements must instead go through the public notice-and-comment rulemaking process set forth in the Administrative Procedure Act (APA).
In addition to discontinuing such guidance documents, Sessions has rescinded several that were put on the books by the previous administration. One of the first to go was the one declaring to employers and schools that Title VII and Title IX’s federal prohibition on sex discrimination covers transgenderism as well.
