Sounds like the senate rules worked.
Dumb rule, and it is unevenly enforced. e.g., Cruz called McConnell a "liar" on the Senate Floor. But the real problem is (1) Sessions is not being considered for a Senate post, and (2) Warren was reading others' comments about him.

The Republicans just didn't want that letter in the record. Just like Strom Thurmond didn't when it was originally penned in 1986.

It is a bit ironic given how so many Republicans like to point out MLK was a Republican(he wasn't) but yet they don't want the words of his widow towards one of their own read. The funny part is the letter will now probably be read by a lot more people than it would have had they just let her read it. I've already seen a handful of people on Facebook this morning sharing it.
