    Over 600 members of Jeff Sessions' church sign formal complaint against him



    Over 600 members of the United Methodist Church have signed a formal complaint against Attorney General Jeff Sessions for “chargeable offenses” in the church this week.

    The letter levels four specific charges against Mr. Sessions: child abuse, immorality, racial discrimination, and dissemination of doctrines contrary to
    United Methodist Church doctrine.

    Three of the charges are based on Mr. Sessions’ “advocacy for and implementation of
    ” the administration’s zero-tolerance immigration policy.

    The complaint cited the attorney general’s use of Romans 13 in the Bible to justify the family separation policy

    “in stark contrast” to the church’s commitment to “supporting freedom of conscience and resistance to unjust laws.”

    So, by your description...prison. Not sure how being in forced containment as a very young child without your parents is "far better" than...well...not being imprisoned as a very young child without your parents.

    Good lord. You are an incredibly ignorant and heartless creature, aren't you. With all respect due.

    By the way, the formal complaint filed by over 600 members of the United Methodist Church is a big deal. The church hierarchy will have to address the complaint and respond. That should be interesting.

    AT this point, based on your current extremist positions, what more is there to say? I might as well be discussing this with rocketlegend...

    Thank you so much. Just in case you missed my quick edit, here it is again:

    sure, I can hold your hand. The first thing you should discuss is which position I've taken do you find 'extreme' and why it is 'extreme'?

    That kids aren't being kept in cages? You have shown no proof of this besides a fake photo.

    ignorant about what? 600 out of 12 million?

    Your posts are bad for discussion because you just ridicule without explanation. You should either have ridicule and explanation or just explanation. ComentsWin is the same way.

    They are putting kids at ports legally seeking asylum into cages as well. Also arriving at and crossing the border is a misdemeanor it should not be used as a reason to separate families. 91% of the kids in lock up are from first time misdemeanor parents They are not criminals. and finally these children should not be used as a bargaining chip so that trump gets his useless wall.

    link of any kids being put in cages please

    the kids or the parents? they are both illegally here.

    Just to be clear who we are talking about. These are people who knowingly broke our laws then, once they got caught, tried to exploit our asylum laws at the expense of people who need asylum and go through the legal process to get it. These are assholes. And while they are acting like assholes we give them food, water, shelter, AC, TV, and medical treatment. These parents shouldn't be glorified and they don't deserve your sympathy. Also at any point these assholes can actually go back to their home country with their kids.
