Jeff Sessions is really all in on calling one of the 50 United States an “island in the Pacific” as a way to attack the legitimacy of a duly appointed and confirmed federal judge who sits in Hawaii. In an interview with MSNBC’s Ali Velshi, Sessions did not back down from defending that indefensible position. VELSHI: Attorney General, what do you have to say about that? SESSIONS: Well, I think that was a perfectly correct statement. We have some 700 federal judges.
