Shall the Senator be allowed to proceed?
we actually want her screeching into the cameras. she’s the spokesman for the batsh*t crazy left, and when she talks, she scares the hell out of normal people.
What the Media go crazy over this vote!
“Unfair”
“We just want the Senate to debate”
“Senator loses freedom of speech”
Blah blah blah. - thoughts?
Of course they will. They probably started prepping stories for this days ago.
Not Voting - 7

Warren broke rule 19, so she was kicked out of any and all discussion related to Sessions.
Lol. Yup
Ted Cruz was off debating Bernie Sanders.
Kabuki Dance theatre

‘Warren Breaks Senate Rule, Prohibited From Debating Sessions Nomination’
Later in her speech, Warren again flirted with violating Rule 19 by quoting a letter used to scuttle Sessions's 1986 nomination by Coretta Scott King. Majority Leader McConnell then invoked Rule 19:
MR. McCONNELL: THE SENATOR HAS IMPUGNED THE MOTIVES AND CONDUCT OF OUR COLLEAGUE FROM ALABAMA, AS WARNED BY THE CHAIR. SENATOR WARREN -- QUOTE SAID -- "SENATOR SESSIONS HAS USED THE AWESOME POWER HIS OFFICE TO CHILL THE FREE EXERCISE OF THE VOTE BY BLACK CITIZENS." I CALL THE SENATOR TO ORDER UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF RULE.
Effectively, a violation of Rule 19 means a Senator is prohibited from speaking for the rest of the debate.
"The defendants initially requested the judge acquit them and then later offered to plead guilty to the election crimes—facts Adams notes were omitted in Patrick’s written statement and severely undercut the claim that Sessions should not be trusted, given his record of bringing the unnecessary case"

Session's prosecution of that case is the basis of King's objection?
"Mr. Sessions has used the awesome powers of his office in a shabby attempt to intimidate and frighten elderly black voters."

Wow. They're really grasping at straws.
Gotta love rule 19 when it works
So many comic strip ideas come to my mind. Lol
No surprise Lyn’ Ted not voting. He should resign from his seat and let Governor Abbott appoint a new senator that will be honest and actually serve constituents.
Huh? Sarcasm?
