Elizabeth Warren rebuked for quoting Coretta Scott King while debating Jeff Sessions' nomination
Posted on February 8, 2017 by greenecodemocratcom
Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Coretta Scott King
By: Paul KaneThe Washington Post
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., led a party-line rebuke Tuesday night of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., for her speech opposing attorney general nominee Jeff Sessions, striking down her words for impugning the Alabama senator's character.
In an extraordinarily rare move, McConnell interrupted Warren's speech, in a near-empty chamber as the nomination debate heads toward a Wednesday evening vote, and said that she had breached Senate rules by reading past statements against Sessions from figures such as the late senator Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., and the late Coretta Scott King.
"The senator has impugned the motives and conduct of our colleague from Alabama," McConnell said, then setting up a series of roll-call votes on Warren's conduct.
It was the latest clash in the increasingly hostile debate over confirming President Donald Trump's Cabinet, during which Democrats have accused Republicans of trying to force through nominees without proper vetting. Democrats, unable to stop the confirmations that require simple majorities, have countered by using extreme delay tactics that have dragged out the process longer than any in history for a new president's Cabinet.
The Democratic moves, including a round-the-clock debate Tuesday night before Wednesday's confirmation of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, reached a boiling point during the debate over Sessions.
McConnell specifically cited portions of a letter that King, the widow of slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., wrote to the Senate Judiciary Committee in opposition to Sessions' 1986 nomination to be a federal judge.
"Mr. Sessions has used the awesome power of his office to chill the free exercise of the vote by black citizens," King wrote, referencing controversial prosecutions at the time that Sessions served as the U.S. attorney for Alabama. Earlier, Warren read from the 1986 statement of Kennedy, a senior member of the Judiciary Committee who led the opposition then against Sessions, including the Massachusetts Democrat's concluding line: "He is, I believe, a disgrace to the Justice Department and he should withdraw his nomination and resign his position."
The Senate voted, 49 to 43, strictly on party lines, to uphold the ruling that Warren violated rules of debate. Warren is now forbidden from speaking during the remainder of the debate on the nomination of Sessions.
"I am surprised that the words of Coretta Scott King are not suitable for debate in the United States Senate," Warren said after McConnell's motion.
Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., a freshman, issued a warning to Warren at that point, singling out Kennedy's "disgrace" comment, and 25 minutes later McConnell came to the floor and set in motion the battle, citing the comments in the King letter as crossing the line.
Other Democrats later came to her defense, but the liberal firebrand's speech ended with a simple admonition from Daines: "The senator will take her seat."
Warren, a liberal firebrand who some activists want to run for president, took to social media to attack McConnell and Republicans for shutting down her speech.

The group's music has been labeled as everything from post-punk to no-wave, Afro-beat, and samba-jazz. Their newest album, Get It All Out, dropped on Jan. 22.

It doesn't feel like that long ago that I was writing about the top ten young adult and middle grade novels I was excited about for 2016. Here another ten that I'm looking forward to this year!
I adored The Art of Being Normal – about teenagers David Piper and Leo Denton – and All About Mia is one I'll definitely be picking up very soon! A brilliant look into the mind of a teenager stuck in the middle.
It's almost time for the final book in the Geek Girl series. It's been four years (I can't quite believe it) since I picked up the first book. In many ways, my life's quite different to how it was in early 2013, and this series has been with me the whole way!
I'm a huge fan of Non Pratt! As well as being a Twitter buddy, I loved her novels Trouble, Remix and Unboxed and so, of course, I'll be reading Truth or Dare as soon as I can. Told in a dual narrative voice, Truth or Dare is about teenagers Claire and Sef.
In 2016 I read When We Collided and it instantly became one of my favourite books of the year. I still haven't picked up Emery Lord's previous books (please make me do it this year!), but I'll definitely be reading The Name They Gave Us. A vibrant, compelling story of love, loss, faith, and friendship.
I cannot wait for yet another amazingly hilariously and realistic contemporary novel from my favourite duo. In the meantime, I'm tempted to re-read Lobsters and Never Evers, but this has the potential to be my favourite yet. Freshers follows two protagonists through that tumultuous first year of university.
Wolf By Wolf is one of my favourite books – about Yael, who is on a mission to join the famous Axis Tour, a treacherous motorcycle race across the world – and so I'm excited to see what Ryan Graudin does next. Time flies when you're plundering history.
Hyperbole and a Half made me laugh out loud. Although it tackles depression, it's not depressing. I'm excited to see if Allie can do the same in Solutions and Other Problems.
After enjoying The Next Together, I'm looking forward to Lauren James' next novel, set in space. Can you fall in love with someone you've never met, never even spoken to – someone who is light years away?
I thought The Sky is Everywhere was an incredible story (and it's one of the few books that has made me cry). I also enjoyed I'll Give You the Sun, so Fall Boys & Dizzy in Paradise (an intriguing title) was always going to make the list. Nelson follows a trio of siblings—two boys and a girl—whose father disappeared years earlier under mysterious circumstances.
And lastly, I haven't included the fantastic YA contemporary novels A Quiet Kind of Thunder or Wing Jones because I've read (and loved) them already – definitely put them on your TBR!
Are any of these on your 2017 wishlist?
Yes! 😀 I think it was meant to be published last year, but fingers cross we'll see it this year.
Argh they all have such gorgeous covers! I think the book I'm most looking forward to this year is Caraval but luckily I don't have to wait long!
I'm not a huge fantasy reader, but I've heard so much about this!
I forgot about the new Allie Brosh…I think it was meant to be out last year? Because I remember including it on a list but not this year's!
I'm so excited about Freshers! I had no idea it was coming out this year – would have definitely made it to my most anticipated reads of 2017 post had I known!
I don't think we've had much news about it yet, but fingers crossed it's still this year.
I cannot wait for Truth or Dare, or for All About Mia. I'm also so excited for Margo and Me by Juno Dawson. It comes out in February!
I'm planning to read All About Mia in February! And yes, I'm intrigued by Juno's new book too.
Really looking forward to the final Geek Girl (though also sad it's the last one!) and Truth or Dare sounds brilliant!
I bet it's as brilliant as the rest!
I can't wait to see the cover!
I thought The Art of Being Normal was a great book too. I'm looking forward to seeing how All About Mia measures up! I've started to make my way (very slowly) through Patrick Ness's books so I'm loooking forward to adding another book to my tbr list in May!
They revealed the cover for Patrick Ness's new book today! I hope you enjoy All About Mia, too.

Trump to undergo physical examination early 2018
December 10, 2017 AdeLove Latest News & Politics, Today's Trending.... 0
The White House has said that U.S. President Donald Trump will undergo a physical examination while promising to allow the results to be released.
Trump will be examined by a doctor at Walter Reed, a military medical center, "scheduled for the first part of 2018," said White House press secretary Sarah Sanders.
"Those records will be released by the doctor following that taking place," she added.
Sanders's announcement came a day after Trump appeared to get a dry mouth and slurred his words when delivering remarks on Wednesday, leading to questions about the president's health.
"There were a lot of questions on that, frankly pretty ridiculous questions," Sanders said.
"The president's throat was dry. Nothing more than that."
Trump's predecessors typically underwent annual physical examinations with a military doctor and had details of their examination results released to the public.
It is the first time that the White House has committed to releasing medical records about Trump's health. Trump, 71, is the oldest U.S. president at this point in his tenure.
In 2016, Trump released a clean bill of health but some pointed out that the record lacked details and had an over-the-top portrait of the president's health condition.(NAN)
