Senate Silences Sen. Liz Warren for Violating Chamber's Decorum
Massachusetts Democrat Sen. Elizabeth Warren received a stunning monition Tuesday evening from her fellow senators after she quoted from a letter that accused Attorney General-designate Sen. Jeff Sessions (R.-Ala.) of racism during his tenure as a federal prosecutor.
The presiding officer, Sen. Steven Daines (R.-Mont.), warned Warren that her comments were a violation of Senate Rule XIX, with the characterization of Sessions as a disgrace to the Justice Department.
Warren, a Harvard Law School professor and attorney, pled bewilderment.
Daines, with the help of a Senate floor staffer, explained to Warren: “The rule applies to impugning conduct or motive through any form or voice to a sitting senator–form or voice includes quotes, articles or other materials.”

Somebody finally shut her up!! The senate banned her from speaking on Session's interviews.
(better than duct tape)
Warren finds voice, support after formally silenced at Sessions nomination debate

I liked her acting when she got "shut-up"ped ... like, "What did I do?".
Reminded me of basketball players when they ride a player to the floor and jump up, "I didn't touch him!'.

Bunch of "snow flakes" in the Senate now. Upset over words, you used to be able to Cain someone who disagreed with you.
That's what's wrong with this country now a days. Everybody's "feelings " gets hurt

I don't think anyones feelings got hurt. I do think a lot of tax payer money is being wasted while they play their political games.
I despise John Kerry , but when Obama wanted him for his secretary of state my opinion was that the president should be able to pick his staff.
we are wasting way too much time on this BS circus show.
