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.

He does. And he needs to get both Sessions and Trump’s Supreme Court nominee confirmed and stop letting Schumer jerk him around. They have drug out Sessions for the longest. He needs to put his foot up Schumer’s ass.

Warren offered a blistering speech against Sessions from the Senate floor, arguing he wouldn’t stand up to Trump’s “campaign of bigotry.”
“He made derogatory and racist comments that should have no place in our justice system,” she said. “To put Sen. Sessions in charge of the Department of Justice is an insult to African-Americans.”

Democrats make us follow the rules. When they don't like the rules, they break them without hesitation.

A time-honored Bolshevik Communist tactic that goes all the way back to Lenin. Total hypocrisy in the pursuit of power.

“Libs don’t need or want rules.....”

Revolutionaries never have any respect for the “rules”.
