Warren barred from speaking on Senate floor for rest of Sessions debate

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., was prohibited Tuesday night from speaking on the Senate floor for the rest of the debate over Sen. Jeff Sessions' nomination to be attorney general.

The drama began when Warren, quoting a 30-year-old letter by civil rights leader Coretta Scott King, referred to the Alabama Republican as a "disgrace." King's letter was written in 1986, when Sessions was nominated to the federal bench, but was never confirmed. 

King also wrote that when acting as a federal prosecutor, Sessions used his power to "chill the free exercise of the vote by black citizens."

Warren's reference drew the ire of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who said that Warren had "impugned the motives of our colleague from Alabama."

Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont. then advised Warren that she was out of order under Rule 19 of the Senate, which states that "no Senator in debate shall, directly or indirectly, by any form of words impute to another Senator or to other Senators any conduct or motive unworthy or unbecoming a Senator."

After a few parliamentary moves, McConnell called for a vote to affirm Daines' ruling that Warren was out of order. The GOP-controlled Senate backed him up 49-43 before defeating a Democratic effort to restore Warren's speaking privileges, 50-43.

"She was warned, she was given an explanation," McConnell said of Warren. "Nevertheless, she persisted."

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said in a statement that McConnell's action was "selective enforcement" of Rule 19.

"Senate Republicans have regularly flaunted Rule XIX in the past – but Republicans never asked them to sit down," said Schumer, who went on to point out that McConnell didn't object when Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, called him a liar in a 2015 dustup.

Sessions is expected to be confirmed when the full Senate votes on his nomination later this week.

So you endorse the SOP of Democrats who don’t believe that rules should apply to them.

She was trying to read a relevant letter....what part of that is unbecoming of an American Senator?   Had the tables been turned and it was a Republican being stifled, I would feel the same way.   Debate and free speech is a critical part of what makes US great.

Not relevant.... character assassination based on hearsay without merit nor proof.  Personal "feelings" are not admissible.

Sorry Mrs. King.  You drank someone's Kool-Aid years ago and fired off that letter without concrete evidence.

Had the tables been turned and it was a Republican being stifled, I would feel the same way.  

Now why would anyone here believe THAT about you...?

Debate and free speech is a critical part of what makes US great.  

You'd think, right...?  So why does your team walk out of Confirmation Hearings, boycott Inaugurations and

refuse to enter into dialogue with the sitting Administration or even discuss re-working a failing ho'bummer-lack-o'-care? 

Got any harsh words for THEM this morning?

Let's hear it !

She was ruled out of order under Article 19, they voted and she lost.  She was warned but continue. She choice to break the rules.  She should of known better, but with this party they only follow the laws, rules of their choice.  The rules apply to all, not just a few.

Oh, shabs -- you poor ignorant devil, you ----

In the context of your team-evil boycotting ...  your kommon kore is showing again.

We pay our Representatives who work for US to do a job,

your team is NOT doing their job.

Exactly -- harry reid the demon seed invokes a nuclear option in order to hijack our court system in favour of the globalists,

and yet, when the other side even mentions using that option, they have hissy fits that would make a 3-year old blush !

I sure don’t remember hearing that from you when Obummer was President and the Dems were forcing Obummercare down our throats without any debate.  Unless you can point to where you objected to this fiasco, your selective objections belie your claim for fairness.

I've never witness such childish actions.  Now that the republicans have the upper hand, they will push the laws, rules by the Constitution, and its going to raise eyebrows from the other side. The pouting, whining, lies, crying will increase till they have their way.

You really should stop with the kommon kore thing.....RV ME just stated he is younger than me and attended public school....so by default that would make him and every public educated member here younger than me, a kommon kore dufus.  In this case you can't cherry pick.

If anyone had been following the Sessions Senate Confirmation hearing, you would have noticed that Senator Ted Cruz ripped the Dems a new one for bringing the hearsay slanderous content that was brought out to libel and de-rail Session's confirmation earlier in his career. Through Alabama judicial and investigation hearings it was later deemed that none of this garbage had any merit.

Senator Warren was basically trying to read from this same pile of garbage. The Senate did the right thing and told her to put a sock in it.

Now there are some on this forum who are on the wrong side of this argument and I will have you know, you are on the wrong side and your true colors are being shown. If you think this is acceptable behavior by your pals and gals on the Left, keep it up. The rest of us common folk are beginning to wake up and see the current leadership in the Democrat party as unhinged and off their rockers.
