There may be a bright side to Attorney General Jeff Sessions choice to concentrate his efforts on immigration, drugs, and violent crimes. He may have also made a wise selection to distance himself from any investigations of The Donald's 2016 Presidential Campaign.

It appears Sessions now possesses a clear path to reshape the United States Department of Justice, a project he commenced shortly after being sworn in as Attorney General.

As an Alabama Senator, Jeff Sessions maintained a tough-on-crime persona. As a former federal prosecutor, his main areas of concentration included criminal justice, civil rights, and drug policies. However, as Attorney General his earliest priorities seem to be focused on undoing the legacy items of the Democrats under Barack Obama.

The Department of Justice under Attorney General Jeff Sessions has repealed a memorandum directed at ceasing the phase out of private prisons. They have also lifted anti-discrimination guidelines ensuring transgender students can use school restrooms of their choice.

The United States Department of Justice reversed its multi-years long opposition to a critical aspect of the State of Texas's voter identification law. Attorney General Sessions has also indicated the Department of Justice may take a more stringent hands-on position on enforcing laws pertaining to marijuana. He sees the drug as being more violent than most people believe it to be.

Sessions also wants to withdraw federal scrutiny of local law enforcement agencies. This indication was strongly endorsed by James Pasco, the Executive Director of the National Fraternal Order of Police, who stated, "Support for the Police particularly in these trying times is extremely welcome and good news to our members. It's refreshing and welcome and no less than we would expect from Jeff Sessions."

In discussing the rapidness in which Attorney General Jeff Sessions is walking his programs through the Department of Justice, William Yeomans, who spent nearly thirty years as a member of that organization, stated, "This is probably unprecedented in the speed and dramatic change in course that's happened."

Yeomans also contributed, "There have been transitions before where the department headed off in new directions, but there is traditionally a period of new people coming in and studying and learning about issues before taking bold and dramatic new policy directions."
