Dems de rules, an he dint write em:

Senate Rule XIX: "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."

Seems like there's a circular "catch 22" problem there. How does the Senate censor members for conduct unbecoming a senator if senators can't bring it up on the floor? And really, given that senators are politicians, how can one seriously say that lying is unsenatorial?

But it's actually in the rules that senators aren't supposed to do what Cruz did.

And senators are not supposed to do what McConnell did— which was... LIE. According to their rules then.. it’s a wash. No big deal, except to weenies like Lott. Lott incidentally is still in the files the Clintons got from the FBI so, he and his rino buddies have their files with the Clintons. Leverage, such as it is. If they’d just all die, we’d be done with the Clintoonian grifter pair.
