About time a Leftist was punished for violating rules, and it couldn't have happened to a bigger creep.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren was not allowed to finish her debate on Sen. Jeff Sessions’ nomination for attorney general after the Senate found she had violated Senate Rule XIX on Tuesday night.

The rule says, among other things, “no Senator in debate shall, directly or indirectly, by any form of words impute another Senator or other Senators any conduct or motive unworthy or unbecoming a Senator.” The rule was enacted after a 1902 fistfight on the Senate floor.

Sessions is a Republican from Alabama.

Warren, D-Mass., was found to be in violation of the rule after reading from a 1986 letter from Coretta Scott King, the widow of Martin Luther King Jr. King submitted the letter to the Senate in opposition to Sessions nomination for a federal judgeship in 1986. He was not confirmed for the position.

Warren also quoted critical comments from former Sen. Ted Kennedy.

She was warned by Sen. Steve Daines, R-Montana, who was the the presiding officer Tuesday night, after reading comments from Kennedy that called Sessions “a disgrace.”

About 20 minutes later, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, stopped Warren saying she had “impugned the motives and conduct of” Sessions.

The Senate voted 49-43 to uphold the decision and bar Warren from further speaking. Sen. Kamala Harris, D-California, requested that Warren be allowed to speak again, but that motion was voted down.

She will not be allowed to speak on the Senate floor for the rest of the debate on Sessions.

Oh, yeah. Having Warren calling Sessions a 'disgrace' based on comments by Scuba Boy is a bit rich?
