Senate Votes To Gag Elizabeth Warren After Anti-Sessions Outburst
Zero Hedge ^ | Feb 7, 2017 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 02/08/2017 12:28:59 AM PST by Trump_vs_Evil_Witch

ollowing a scathing speech against Trump's nominee for Attorney General, Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnell said Senator Elizabeth Warren had "impugned the motives and conduct of our colleague from Alabama," violating the so-called 'Rule 19'. By a vote of 49-43, Senator Warren was then barred from speaking on the floor until Senator Sessions nomination debate is complete (likely tomorrow evening)....

McConnell defended the decision, noting Warren had been warned.

"Sen. Warren was giving a lengthy speech. She had appeared to violate the rule. She was warned. She was given an explanation," he said after the vote. "Nevertheless, she persisted."

I had predicted Hillary would drop out of the race and Fauxahontas would pick up the spear.
Didn’t happen but she’s gonna be right there 2020.

Repubs, start the dossier now.

It's all about money. In this case Wailing Liz is packing donations for her Senate run

In MA, if the 'pubs run an impressive candidate, they'll win. Keep in mind Warren didn't win that seat, Scott Brown lost his way. So, she'll win if the 'pubs run an insider...ex: Romney, who Deplorables won't support. But in the mean time the likes of her and Al Franken are willing to sink dems from states that voted for Trump?

I'm hoping that after Al Franken's disgusting insult tirade against Sessions and Cruz in the committee hearing, Mitch McConnell and the rest of them finally decided to aggressively get these confirmations done. Especially Jeff Sessions. Trump seems to be at his best when his core of loyal supporters is at his side. President Trump needs Jeff Sessions, for his legal expertise, lifetime of accrued wisdom, and knowledge of how the Senate functions, at his side.

What we're watching is insane. Why read a book or go to a movie when this is playing out before our eyes? In my mind, it's an epic attempt to save civilization.

From some things I have read recently, it is clear to me that the Democrats greatly fear Sen Sessions becoming Attorney General.

And, of course, their fears are not about "protecting the voting rights of minorities" or any other made up issue.

They are aware that Jeff Sessions knows how deep their crimes go.

I liked it better when you could slap their face and step outside with nice set of dueling pistols

Remember how better manners were in those days

It's too bad They don't have a strangling rule in her case at least.

Let her rant. The more hysterical Warren becomes the better for our side.

“I wish Murkowski was gagged as well. An embarrassment to Alaskans.”

I’ve been thinking the same thing — an embarrassment to Alaskans. I lived there for a long time, and if any group of people would benefit from better schools it would be the kids in bush villages.

What I don’t get is that we know she’s been bought by unions, she knows we know, she still flaunts it, and doesn’t have the decency to be ashamed.

I read somewhere that that guy wasn’t an Indian, either. Another “faux”. Italian, I think.

What pisses me off is that the GOP continue to be so sickeningly polite to these people. Orrin Hatch was saying how much he “loves” everyone in the Senate. “My distinguished” so-and-so. His “condemnation” of Lie-awatha was so sweet it’s surprising everyone didn’t fall in to diabetic coma.

Rubio was a little stronger, but not much.

Depends. She’s now an exalted hero on Twitter.

“They can shut me up, but they can’t change the truth,” Warren later told CNN’s Don Lemon.

Warren wouldn't know the truth if it bit her on the butt.

I heard on the radio this morning that the 30-year old letter she wanted to read from King was 100% repudiated. None of the things she accuses him of in the letter turned out to be true.

You’re probably thinking of Alveda King, MLK’s niece, who was/is a big Trump supporter and a minister herself.

Coretta died about 0 years ago, I think.

We are slowly winning the culture war against the left too.

In the Senate, Elizabeth Warren was censored for the inflammatory, gratuitous, dehumanizing vitriol of her remarks against a fellow Senator ( Sessions), when speaking in opposition to the nomination of Jeff Sessions for Attorney General. Rule 19 was invoked.

Warren cannot speak at any time on the floor of the Senate in the continuing Sessions nomination process.

Warren was basically told to sit down and STFU. Love it!

WINNING!

“In my mind, it’s an epic attempt to save civilization.”

It’s spiritual warfare, and it isn’t in Satan’s best interests to leave a free, Christian America standing. We pray so much for Good to prevail, but I wish it weren’t such a struggle.

I think the other side knows that if/when Sessions is in place, they’ll be exposed for far more evil than we can even imagine. Many RINOs, too.

Iron Eyes Cody was a Sicilian American actor who played Indian roles like many other Sicilians. However, he became deluded and really believed himself to be an American Indian.

Whenever you see an epic Western movie with hundreds of Indians charging on horseback - they’re all Sicilians.
