        A twisting answer from Sessions, slipped in at the end that DOJ thinks they're right on the law as to trans changes.https://twitter.com/chrisgeidner/status/920718692920561671 …

        Sessions' Title VII answer is ONLY even arguably accurate as to sexual orientation, NOT as to gender identity.

        Sessions says two laws include "sexual identity and sexual orientation." Adds: "We enforce them as you would want them to be enforced."

        Weirdly, Sessions appeared to forget whether Trump or Sessions himself fired the US Attorneys. He turned to someone else.

        Libertarians have been left wing for some time. They're just more nihilist than the average Leftist.

        Which is why they advocate for fewer regulations, reducing government expenditures and lower taxes. Totally left wing positions.

        Well, Sessions basically used a spin-off for the alt-right argument. That CATO are "globalists" and therefore bad.https://twitter.com/catoinstitute/status/919073067778879489 …

        Of course not all libertarians support "open borders". There are always exemptions but it reeks more of nationalism. Not libertarianism.

        My point is that Sessions used a cop out answer and is easily resembled to the argument that the alt-right is using.

        Just because one believe in "open borders" does not necessarily mean one is left leaning and vice verse.
