It seems that Sessions has signed the resolution. Good for him. Shelby is still in Paris hobnobbing with the traitorous French cowards:

Shelby, who was attending the Paris Air Show when the voice vote was taken Monday, said Tuesday he did not remember anyone asking him to co-sponsor the bill but that the era of lynchings was rightly condemned by the Senate.

"I've always been for law and order and due process for all Americans. This was a breakdown of law and order. It's wrong. They should have done this a long time ago," he said in an interview.

Sessions became a co-sponsor of the bill Monday. He issued a statement supporting the resolution.

"While the South has every right to take pride in the tremendous advancement in race relations that has occurred in recent decades, true reconciliation and progress cannot be achieved without an honest recognition of the wrongs that have occurred," he said.
