4. Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski
When we say that lawmakers are going head-to-head with Jeff Sessions, we’re not just talking about Democrats. Members of the Attorney General’s own political party are peeved with him as well. Specifically, because the plan to revoke the Cole Memo impedes upon states’ rights. In a statement that she shared on her Twitter account, Senator Lisa Murkowski from Alaska remarked, “Over the past year I repeatedly discouraged Attorney General Sessions from taking this action and asked that he work with the states and Congress if he feels changes are necessary. [The] announcement is disruptive to state regulatory regimes and regrettable.”
