Senate Shuts Down Vile, Loud-Mouth Lizzy (Faux-cahontas) Warren

Hell, yes! Who can tolerate listening to this creature anyway? I'm so ashamed that she's from Oklahoma City. I apologize folks, but Faux-cahontas is not indicative of the sensible, wise and intelligent nature of most Oklahomans, myself included of course.



Warren barred from speaking on Senate floor for rest of Sessions debate



February 7, 2017

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., was prohibited Tuesday night from speaking on the Senate floor for the rest of the debate over Sen. Jeff Sessions' nomination to be attorney general.

The drama began when Warren, quoting a 30-year-old letter by civil rights leader Coretta Scott King, referred to the Alabama Republican as a "disgrace." King's letter was written in 1986, when Sessions was nominated to the federal bench, but was never confirmed.

King also wrote that when acting as a federal prosecutor, Sessions used his power to "chill the free exercise of the vote by black citizens."

Warren's reference drew the ire of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who said that Warren had "impugned the motives of our colleague from Alabama."

Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont. then advised Warren that she was out of order under Rule 19 of the Senate, which states that "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."

After a few parliamentary moves, McConnell called for a vote to affirm Daines' ruling that Warren was out of order. The GOP-controlled Senate backed him up 49-43 before defeating a Democratic effort to restore Warren's speaking privileges, 50-43.

"She was warned, she was given an explanation," McConnell said of Warren. "Nevertheless, she persisted."

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said in a statement that McConnell's action was "selective enforcement" of Rule 19.

"Senate Republicans have regularly flaunted Rule XIX in the past – but Republicans never asked them to sit down," said Schumer, who went on to point out that McConnell didn't object when Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, called him a liar in a 2015 dustup.

Sessions is expected to be confirmed when the full Senate votes on his nomination later this week.

No apology necessary . . . after all, it's not where she's from that bothers me . . . it's where she wants to take us that I have a problem with.

But disparaging native Americans is just fine? You can't even see your hypocrisy can you?

 

I see it plane as day. But the democrats still elected her. Why can't you see it?

 

Disparaging? In what way?

On the other hand, Lizzy Warren hijacked a culture by saying that she was Cherokee in order to obtain special treatment. Now, THAT is disparaging! But, not a single word from you on that issue... why?

 

Got it! You can't defend Pocahontas so you change the topic!

 

The thing that amazes me about this GOP stupidity is how badly the Reich-wing played this. If McConnell had done nothing, this letter wouldn't have made the slightest bit of news. Now everyone is reading it today across the country. What a bunch of morons.

 

Oh, there's nothing wrong with the letter. People SHOULD read the letter. But, Faux-cohantas shouldn't be denigrating a Senator contrary to Senate rules. As we all know, she's a loud-mouthed piece of crap.

 

trump and company like the "one amendment" (the trumpism for the 1st Amendment) when it's them speaking, but as soon as anyone disagrees they call for the dissenter to be silenced.

 

Oh no! You're back! Someone must have paid your Internet bill. Damn.

 

New Orleans has been hit by tornadoes, while trump whines about his daughter being unfairly treated by Nordstrom, despite his daughter supposedly severing ties with her businesses.
