Warren now disallowed from participating in Sessions' discussions

Warren cited the letter during a debate on the nomination of Sessions -- now an Alabama senator -- as Donald Trump's attorney general. Reading from King's letter to members of the Senate Judiciary Committee in 1986, Warren said: "Mr. Sessions has used the awesome power of his office to chill the free exercise of the vote by black citizens in the district he now seeks to serve as a federal judge."
Read the Coretta Scott King Letter
Republicans cried foul -- charging that Warren violated Senate rules against impugning another senator. A vote along party lines upheld that decision, turning what could have been an ordinary late-night partisan floor speech for political devotees into a national story.
Warren is now forbidden from participating in the floor debate over Sessions' nomination ahead of a confirmation vote expected Wednesday.
"I literally can't be recognized on the floor of the Senate," she told Lemon. "I have become a nonperson during the discussion of Jeff Sessions."
"She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, said on the Senate floor.

In the end, though, it won't matter in his hearing.

Sounds like the senate rules worked. What's your beef?

I did not say I had a beef. In fact I said in the end it won't matter with sessions. She just behaved idiotically . But she has already shown that she's not that bright.

Your schtick is tired and old. You're a fish out of water grasping for air. Your attempt at these gotcha moments is laughable just as much as you trying to come off as some sort of intellect.

You have to approve him to see what he is about.

I am baffled by this action - the tidbit I heard this morning doesn't support the action in my opinion.
DEMs have so polluted the waters of political discourse that nothing really surprises me anymore. I would rather allow them continues flaunting their hypocrisy, wallowing in their feigned victimhood, displaying their ignorance for the whole country to witness until they finally tire of their charade.
Now they have created a "martyr" which will just re-invigorate them.

Yep, and it's already working on my Facebook feed. This is red meat for the mindless leftists.

This is why the Democrat Party is dying. The only people who will be impressed by Warren here are other Democrats. Everyone else just sees a blowhard politician dishonestly wasting time and grandstanding.
Warren (and the rest of the Dems) aren't fooling anyone except themselves and those stupid enough to still be their supporters. Nobody believes the Dems are opposing Sessions because he's a "racist". The real reason they're opposing him is he's a Republican and worse yet he's nominated by President Trump.
So keep on pitching your slobbering hissy fits Dems. Keep showing the country who y'all truly are. Meanwhile Republicans will be over here just winning more elections, actually implementing conservative policies and running the country.

Amazing how we view posters in different ways.

Good. Let them have their "martyr". Won't do a bit of good. Like I said in my other post, nobody is buying it anymore. All their doing now is sitting in their own echo chamber and screaming at themselves. Everyone else is moving on.
