Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) accused Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) of breaking the Senate’s rules with a blistering floor speech against Sen. Jeff Sessions’s attorney general nomination.
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.

Yes...and you notice, several Dems didn’t bother to show up to vote in her favor - it’s apparent some of them don’t want to listen her anymore either. All of the Republicans held together...they work directly with Sessions, dine with him, etc. They know he’s a good man and these character assassinations are total nonsense.
This is a very good question.

Some of the Democrats couldn’t bring themselves to the floor to vote for her. It’s apparent they don’t want to listen to her anymore either.
Democrats don’t have to follow any laws or rules.
That’s funny. A stick was what I was thinking of while watching the clown.
What is Klobuchar talking about? John Lewis and the Freedom Riders? How is this even relevant?
She is a maroon. I muted the tv.
The Turtle and Foam Boi do seem to be “manning up”. I credit it to “The Trump Effect”.
President Trump handing out doses of Cajone Grow.
I guess Warren thinks Lynch and Holder stood up to Obama and his lawbreaking.

It’s truly amazing to see the absolute morons that we have in charge of the country.
No, it’s a soccer term for somebody who has been thrown out of the game.

That shit may work on Daily Kos, but I doubt she will be pulling a stunt like this on the Senate floor again.
I think the Dems will crumble/fracture to a third party. Demographics in states almost assure a continuous Red Senate & House. So the more they get desperate and break the rules that will give the majority Republicans the go ahead and push through stuff irregardless of rules since Dems broke them first, I hope.
“thumbs up”

Soccer term, a player who commits a major foul or a couple minor fouls gets a red card and has to leave the game.
