You pointed out nothing.
The accusations 30-years ago were bald faced lies.
It seems Senator Byrd has risen from the dead!!!
Your country's history. Don't you know it?
Now it's the denials... AKA fake (Breitbart) news.

So, according to you, Ronald Reagan was an idiot and Trump is a genius, yes, Republicans have changed a whole lot.
You mean Ronald Reagan who appointed Sessions to a federal judgeship? The American Bar Association deemed Sessions qualified for the position. Democrats back then hatched a plan to smear Republican nominees, just like they're doing now. Reagan THEN pulled the nomination, so Democrat are trying the same playbook, which I predict they'll use on all the nominees.
Strange that you believe his nominations are all Republicans. Will they stop any of his nominations, I doubt it, soon enough they will be under the gun to produce should be very interesting to watch.

If Reagan's GOP found Sessions too offensively unsympathetic to civil right back then, what's changed?
You are misreading my post. I was talking about the Reagan nominations. And somehow you've decided that Democrats can perform (which they can't) and Republicans can't perform. That's a very silly and biased notion for a supposed Independent.
Unhinged liberals playing the only card they have or know how to play.
I am talking about nominations across the board, few are ever stopped, cabinet posts yes, every President has had some get kicked back. Never said either can perform, but I did vote Republican in the election, I think both are obstructionists and big spenders, cannot tell one from the other these days. The sooner We the People have better alternatives than Dems and Repubs the better for the Nation.
Yes, lets talk about slavery. Typical divisive liberal tactics.
What's changed is that one part of the ideological spectrum in this country has spent the last 7-20 years spreading a New Teaching: that any mention of racism or even the possibility that racists might still be alive is "playing the race card" or "being politically correct" and should be automatically ignored. (Unless, of course, the topic is whether or not the first black President is "racist against white people" - then, talk of racism is cool).

wrong-Reagan was dealing with the possibility of a filibuster or outright blockage by the Democrats who borked Robert Bork. Now that Dirty harry deployed the nuclear option, the dems are SOL in stopping sessions and Trump knows that
D.C. is a circus that has lost control of the donkey and elephant show.

And the GOP didn't?
Trump's victory isn't much of a GOP victory. None of them were happy that he got the nomination and quite a lot of them remain unhappy.
He was rejected as a judge in 1988. The Republican led committee voted 10-8 against, due to his racist comments.
