Senators Shelby and Sessions - opposing Judge Kallon's 11th Cir. Nomination says more about you than it ever will about him.

Senators Sessions and Shelby - What is Wrong with You?

President Obama recently nominated United States District Judge Abdul Kallon to serve as a member of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.
Here is your citation!

Judge Kallon was a District Court nominee both of you vetted, supported, and voted for in 2009.  Turns out that vote was unanimous!

So now, let's ask why you would oppose this nomination!  Oh wait, politics

Senator Shelby, you are in an election campaign.  You need something to "stand up to Obama" every single day and you got what you wanted!  You can now smear a highly qualified, good man as a "liberal" and put his face in front of Alabama's racist voters.   

And your opposition can't risk disagreeing with you.  In fact, they will have to double down and probably say even worse things in racially coded language.  

As for Senator Sessions, none of this is shocking.  Concerns about his tendency for racism have existed ever since his nomination for a judge's seat was rejected by the Senate in 1986.  
You can fact check this one to satisfy yourself! 

So here we go, another good man serving the public AND qualified for the position is about to become a political football for no reason whatsoever.  

Senator Shelby - what is wrong with you?  

Senator Sessions?  - we know what's wrong with you.  The Better question is what can we do to help you change for the better (whether you are in or out of office?)
