The Senate’s top Republican interrupted Warren’s speech to argue that she was violating the upper chamber’s rules, despite an initial warning by GOP Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.), who was presiding over the Senate.

The closer to 2018, the more desperate she will become. Her home state is ready to kick her to the curb or so says a poll. She got a lot of coverage over that poll so maybe her internals show the same thing.

Rules, schmules. Libs don’t need or want rules- unless they’re applied to their subjects.

The left is crossing the line so often they won’t be able to take it back. Who will ever trust them? The senate will never be the same again.

Democrats make us follow the rules.

When they don't like the rules, they break them without hesitation. And will be happy to tell the world how proud they are to do so.

Meanwhile, our side steps out of the chute by one millimeter, and its a Constitutional Crisis.

Nice, the things you can get away with when you own the MSM.

McConnell needs to bring to the floor a bill to strip the lower federal courts of any jurisdiction over matters pertaining to foreign aliens trying to enter our nation.

He likely had a martini with her afterwards and apologized.

So will she be censured? What is the penalty for this breach of decorum?

Yes, I meant “allow”, not “all”.

Thanks—was faulty proofreading.
