Elizabeth Warren Told to Shut the F*** Up By Senate for Violating Rule Against Personally Attacking a Fellow Senator

If they're serious about this rule, maybe they'll be serious about enforcing the rule Sean Davis talks about, limiting a filibuster to two speeches per Senator per "legislative day."

Sen. Warren was interrupted before being able to finish reading [Coretta Scott] King's letter and statement. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell invoked Rule 19 (which establishes rules for floor debate so as to keep the discourse civil), in particular, the bit prohibiting Senators from imputing the motives of other Senators from the floor.

Elizabeth Warren's claims are asinine. She could have read from a different letter, if she weren't a hyperpartisan leftwing lightweight chokker who enjoys stealing jobs from American Indians.

I have known Senator Sessions for many years, beginning with the voter fraud case in Perry County in which my parents were defendants. My differences in policy and ideology with him do not translate to personal malice. He is not a racist. As I have said before, at no time then or now has Jeff Sessions said anything derogatory about my family. He was a prosecutor at the Federal level with a job to do. He was presented with evidence by a local District Attorney that he relied on, and his office presented the case. That’s what a prosecutor does. I believe him when he says that he was simply doing his job. I believe that he is someone with whom I, and others in the civil rights community can work if given the opportunity. I believe that he will listen, as he has in the past, to the concerns of my community. More than most I am very familiar with him. I believe he will be fair in his application of the law and the Constitution; as such I support his nomination to be the next Attorney General of the United States.

Meanwhile, Democrats are considering appointing an anti-semite and cohort of Louis Farrakhan as the chairman of their party, and few in the Capital Class seems very fussed about that.

Ellison’s claim of a "right-wing smear campaign" just took a major hit from an unexpected place: Left-wing standard-bearer Mother Jones magazine.
In an article arguing that Ellison is what Democrats need now, Mother Jones dug deeply into Ellison’s claims with regard to his Farrakhan connection. In so doing, Mother Jones not only cast into serious doubt Ellison’s defense, it also discovered even more troubling aspects of Ellison's past, including a tendency to use the now-fashionable intersectionality theory to cast European Jews as oppressors, particularly as relates to Israel.

Not only did Ellison maintain an association with Farrakhan longer than his revised history claims, but Mother Jones reports he had a problem with -- get this -- the Jews. Bigly.

Michael Olenick, a Jewish student who clashed with Ellison and who was the opinions editor at the Daily, recalled Ellison maintaining that an oppressed group could not be racist toward Jews because Jews were themselves oppressors. "European white Jews are trying to oppress minorities all over the world," Olenick remembers Ellison arguing. "Keith would go on all the time about 'Jewish slave traders.'" Another Jewish student active in progressive politics recalled Ellison's incredulous response to the controversy over Zionism. "What are you afraid of?" Ellison asked. "Do you think black nationalists are gonna get power and hurt Jews?"

Claim: Allahpundit notes a report stating that Mitch McConnell shut Lieawatha down precisely to elevate her in stature and make her the designated face of the Democrat "resistance" for the 2018 midterms.

12 I have said it before, Warren should be disbarred if she holds a license and kicked off the faculty of wherever she teaches. She is the most disingenuous public figure since Bill Hill Clinton.

But I am not confident enough in the Democrats' ability to run away from this man. My fear, if he gets put in charge of the DNC, is that things will just get worse. I'm not normally a pessimist by any means, but I am about this.

32 Repost from last thread, because its actually kind of on topic here...

something struck me this morning as I watched the Presidential Press Brief...

One Lady was talking about what Martin Luther King's daughter said about Sessions..

And it struck me... her only claim to fame is that she lost a famous father... that she was a Victim...

Yes, its tragic she lost her Father, but how does that give her MORE influence?

Why do we celebrate Victims?

Victims are by definition, someone who something happened to... sometimes their own fault, sometimes the fault of others.... but their only strength is that they Lost.

Which leads to, why do we allow LOSERS to have more influence on us, than those who DON'T lose?

Why do allow the Weak, to use their very weakness, to overpower the strong?

And can a Society that celebrates being a Victim... ie being a loser... survive in this Darwinian World?

44 The letter Liz Warren read from was about a case of murder.

Sessions deferred the case to the local (state) authorities because, at the time, there was no 'death penalty' for this type of case at the federal level, but there was at the local (state) level.

The perp was executed by the state, so there was nothing more Sessions at the federal level could do, once the local (state) authorities were done with him.

92 I forget where I read it, but a newpaper reporter wrote a column about people on Capital Hill several years ago, and happened to mention that the Media were ALWAYS following Elizabeth Warren around, trying to catch her every word, as if she was some kind of Oracle of Delphi.

The Media is pushing her front and center. Bernie had a great following in the circles of the Democrat Party, because he actually acted like a human being with other people, compared to Hillary. Mark Steyn commented something like that. It will be interesting to see where Warren ends up.

Don't dismiss here just because she is some Left-wing nut from Massachusetts. There are a lot more nuts voting now than ever.

96 There were some fireworks on occasion when I was there, but we never had this sort of dust-up in the Senate. Hilarious.

On a lighter note - every summer, the Dem cloakroom would be the place Senators would watch Wimbledon (summer = defense authorization/State authorization = 358 amendments = weekend/late night sessions) on Saturdays.

One could hear the "ooohs!" and "ahhs!" and "wows!" - muffled - on the Senate floor.

One time the boys got a bit too boisterous - you could clearly hear the "fan reactions" from the cloakroom on the floor. The presiding officer (forget who it was) banged his gavel and said "Order in the cloakroom!" - to laughter from senators present and the packed visitors' gallery.

126 >>>per "legislative day."

This idea is a gimmick. Calling a 2-week block of time a day might conform to the rules, but it will still have the effect of escalation. If the Dems filibuster, the GOP might as well invoke the Reid option to eliminate the SCOTUS filibuster, because doing it this way is just using a different gimmick to accomplish the same thing.

The people in the Senate who want to preserve the filibuster are not going to say that Reid method was horrible but this one is hunky-dory. They want to leave the filibuster in place to make the minority relevant. This applies not only to the Dems at this particular moment in time, but also to certain GOPers who figure the shoe will be on the other foot sooner or later and they will want the filibuster for themselves. There are also the so-called moderate types who want the Senate to be a more bi-partisan institution and don't want the more militant members of either party to get too much unchecked power.

I think the SCOTUS filibuster is doomed, sooner or later. But, both sides will probably want to keep the legislative filibuster in place for the foreseeable future.

That's up to the Dems. If they filibuster this time, the GOP has to respond this time. If the Dems don't filibuster, the GOP isn't going to force the issue.

But, the legislative day thing is just a different way to go about attacking a filibuster. But, there is nothing about the method that would restrict it to SCOTUS nominees. Once it is used, then some will say that it should be used for legislation as well. It doesn't involve a rule change.

By using the Reid option to change the rules for SCOTUS nominees, they get to keep the filibuster in place for legislation. My guess is that there are enough GOP senators who will not want to get rid of the legislative filibuster to prevent that from happening.

Short version. Three black voting rights activists in Alabama were helping elderly black people vote. Other black voting rights activists in Alabama said they weren't just helping them, they were voting for them by filling out their voting ballots in violation of the law.

They took their case to the local prosecutor who took it to the federal prosecutor of the area, Sessions, who took the case. Which he lost by the way.

This is their evidence of racism and suppressing black voters.

I think those might be a couple different instances. I don't think King was talking about his joke which boils down to "Second look at the KKK?" because they opposed marijuana. That's like joking about "Second look at Islam" because they don't let women drive in Saudi Arabia.

And from that letter it didn't look like she was talking about his getting the KKK guy the death penalty. So I think Emmie is wondering about the truth behind the claims in that letter.

They even let Merkel read the rest of the letter immediately afterward.

The sad truth is that for many African-Anti-Americans, Ellison's stances are a feature and not a bug.

The Leftist Jewish Democrats who overlook this are either totally dyed in the wool Leftist dupes, or they cynically use the African Anti-American Left to get votes even if they find them disgusting.

255 "When Teddy Kennedy was busy dying from his brain tumor, he wrote frequent letters to the Pope asking him to pray for his divine healing. Hysterical, when you consider his full-throated support for abortion. He really did think there were special rules, just for him."

There really were special rules just for him.

Kennedy was treated with an experimental drug for his brain tumor. It didn't work. It didn't work, BUT he received the drug in the first place, which is the noteworthy part.

If you or I had the very same brain tumor, and had petitioned the FDA to let us have access to this untested, unapproved medicine, we would have been turned down cold. Because it might harm us, you understand, and we need Our Betters to carefully protect us in such situations.

When Ted Kennedy called them? FDA suddenly carved out a one-man one-time compassionate-use exception.

263 yeah, some Jews got into the slave trade. so did some Portuguese. so did some Arabs... lots and lots of Arabs. Ellison doesn't spend his time talking about the Portuguese and he certainly doesnt talk about the Arabs.

Yep. The arabs started the West African slave trade ... and kept at it long after Europeans had stopped. It's funny that Ellison is a muzzie, one of the last cultures (many of its subcultures) where slavery is still practiced. And it's also funny how black Americans have gravitated to islam ... islam friggin hates blacks more than anyone ever has. Sure there are lots of black muslims, but there's never any doubt who fits where in islam.

And you forgot to remind Ellison about the biggest slave traders of all - the blacks who captured others and sold them to arabs and Europeans.

the guy just don't like him some Jews.

Its just asinine and the kind of mentality of someone who identifies their favorite number as "purple." She was the lever by which things got moving, and I'm fine with that, she certainly paid a price for it.

It is common courtesy for young people to get up and let a woman or an old person sit ... but if people choose not to there is no reason they should be forced to. The law should not be concerned with enforcing "manners". But that's how it is, now.

333 IMO the Dems are hostile to Sessions because he was such an enemy of their klan wing back in the day. Of course they dress up their racism in costumes of "its unfair to have more blacks suspended from school, or in jail, yada" these days but its still a crappy racist belief that blacks are not worthy of the level of law and order that the rich elitists enjoy.

sure that, in itself should be disqualifying- people make choices based

little difficult.

My point was if you go down the faculty list of Harvard Law you probably won't find anyone else with that background. She got the position because she checked boxes.

336 328 Ellison is putting the Dems in a box. Now that he's "in the running" I don't hear about any other candidates. The MSM wants him. If a white guy shows up and takes it, there will be trouble.

Reminds me of...

Should I stay or should I go now?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go, there will be trouble

Here's a question: If the Commiecrats go full anti-white-retard, could a 3rd party emerge, a la Ross Perot's Reform Party, of disaffected union bosses and their followers? Especially if the GOPee thwarts Trump's attempts at working class appeals? (e.g., more protectionism, Immigration Control, less globalism)

Or has Trump co-opted these people reasonably well?

I am thinking of the UK under Thatcher, when the Labour Party went so far Left as to be Communist, and the disgusted Labourites went to the Liberal party, renamed the Social Democrat Liberal Alliance Party. Then again, the UK has a parliamentary system, so 3rd parties can emerge there and last, unlike the USA presidential-congressional system, which pretty much enforces two parties.

So you're okay with this? Another squish who can't stand the fact that someone is calling out judges who clearly do not have an ounce of integrity or concern for the law. The fact that he is "demoralized" by Trump's statement seems to me that he is a little too "concerned"

Nothing wrong with that. They get crabs in the Plains, too. There's nowhere on Earth that you are really safe from crabs.

350 I didn't watch Warren's original reading of the letter. But I briefly turned on C-Span earlier today and saw the letter read by at least one (possibly two; don't remember for certain) Democratic congressmen without any comment from the rest of the Senate.

Did Warren say anything else in addition to reading the letter? Or did McConnell just go after her and ignore others doing the same thing?

-----------------

Major political parties can collapse in the US. It hasn't happened in a very long time, but it has happened.

However -

1.) There's not really anyone positioned to stake out a position mid-way between the Dems and the Republicans at the moment.
2.) If you think the media's deranged now, imagine what will happen if they think that a more moderate version of the Democratic Party has a real chance at emerging.

So, you make statements about the Evil Booger Trump tweet and appear like you are siding with your opposition against him. Then you collect the donkey votes and laugh all the way to get your 44 Tall black robe.
And assume the role of Darth Scalia.
Don't fight the media, use it.

355 You know, I wonder ... after so many years of being beaten up by the leftwing bullies and going along with them anyway for scraps, do you think the GOPe might actually develop a taste for, I dunno, winning and grinding their opponent's face in the dirt?

They could get used to this. Just sayin'. I don't know too many men who really Enjoy the sensation of being impotent.
