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.

Well, this is an instance where there is no "funny part". I see absolutely nothing in Sessions record that would indicate he is/was a bigot/racist/prejudiced or anything else. As I am with John Lewis, I am deferent to Mrs.King and the things she went through. But that does not entitle her to her own facts. Unfortunately she probably got talked into 'adjusting' her account by Ted Kennedy. It was very much the "Bork" model concoction smear. If the MSM were interested in the truth, Warren would not even have cause to even read those 30 yr-old statements because in doing so she'd be shamed off the floor. But the MSM is not interested in truth.
