Senate "Silences" Elizabeth Warren During Sessions Debate

I THINK WARM TODAY, SNOW
TOMORROW.
THANK YOU, MOTHER NATURE.
THANKS A LOT.
A SENATE FIGHT OVER
PRESIDENT TRUMP'SH McCONNELL COMPLAINED.
THE PRESIDENT TWEETED LAST NIGHT
IT IS A DISGRACE THAT MY FULL
CABINET IS NOT IN PLACE.
THE LONGEST SUCH DELAY IN THE
HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY.
OBSTRUCTION BY THE DEMOCRATS.
BETSY DEVOS WAS SWORN IN LAST
NIGHT BY VICE PRESIDENT MIKE
PENCE.
NANCY IS ON CAPITOL HILL AFTER
ANOTHER ALL NIGHTER IN THE
SENATE.
NANCY, GOOD MORNING.
WOW.
THE SENATE WENT VIRAL.
THAT'S RIGHT.
THIS WAS AN ALL-NIGHTER THAT GOT
UGLY, NORA.
IT'S ALWAYS SENSITIVE WHEN
YOU'VE GOT SENATORS RAILING
AGAINST ONE OF THEIR OWN.
IN THIS CASE, DEMOCRATIC
SENATORS RAILING AGAINST ALABAMA
SENATOR JEFF SESSIONS TO BE
ATTORNEY GENERAL.
AND IN ONE INSTANCE, REPUBLICANS
PUNISHED ONE OF THE DEMOCRATS
ARGUING THAT SHE HAD VIOLATED A
RULE AGAINST CRITICIZING A
COLLEAGUE ON THE SENATE FLOOR.
HE SAYS HE WILL VIGOROUSLY
ENFORCE THE LAW ONCE HE BECOMES
ATTORNEY GENERAL.
GIVE ME A BREAK.
REPUBLICANS VOTED TO BAN
MASSACHUSETTS SENATOR ELIZABETH
WARREN FROM SPEAKING ABOUT
SESSIONS AFTER SHE READ FROM A
1986 LETTER ABOUT HIM WRITTEN BY
THE WIDOW OF MARTIN LUTHER KING
JR.
MR. SESSIONS HAS USED THE
AWESOME POWER OF HIS OFFICE TO
CHILL THE FREE EXERCISE OF THE
VOTE BY BLACK CITIZENS.
MAJORITY LEADER MITCH
McCONNELL CUT HER OFF.
SENATORS IMPUGN THE MOTIVES
AND CONDUCT OF OUR COLLEAGUE
FROM ALABAMA.
MR. PRESIDENT, I AM SURPRISED
THAT THE WORDS OF CORETTA SCOTT
KING ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR DEBATE
IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE.
THE SENATOR WILL TAKE HER
SEAT.
THAT DIDN'T SIT WELL WITH
DEMOCRATS WHO SAID THE RULES
WERE BEING IMPOSED ARBITRARILY.
THIS IS SELECTIVE ENFORCEMENT
AND ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF OUR
COLLEAGUES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF
THE AISLE ESCALATING THE
PARTISANSHIP.
ARE WE SUPPOSED TO SIMPLY
BLIND OURSELVES TO DEROGATORY
INFORMATION?
REPUBLICANS ARGUE SESSIONS IS
MORE THAN QUALIFIED TO BE
ATTORNEY GENERAL.
DRAGGING THIS PROCESS ON, I
THINK, DOES A GREAT DISSERVICE
TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
DEMOCRATS ARE GETTING MORE
AGGRESSIVE ABOUT CHALLENGING
PRESIDENT TRUMP.
THE PRESIDENT IS LYING.
CONNECTICUT SENATOR CHRIS
MURPHY ARGUED THE PRESIDENT IS
TELLING FALSEHOODS ON PURPOSE.
THIS IS PART OF A DELIBERATE
STRATEGY TO DISTRACT PEOPLE FROM
WHAT THE PRESIDENT AND THE
ADMINISTRATION ARE DOING AND TO
JUST DRUM UP AS MUCH FEAR AS
POSSIBLE.
LEADER McCONNELL DECLINES TO
WEIGH IN ON THE PRESIDENT'S
LOOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH SOME
FACTS.
HAVE YOU URGED THE PRESIDENT
NOT TO MAKE FALSE CLAIMS?
DO YOU THINK IT GETSDZ IN THE
WAY OF HIS AGENDA AND YOURS?
I'M NOT GOING TO TRY TO SPEAK
FOR THE PRESIDENT.
HE CAN SPEAK FOR HIMSELF AND
FREQUENTLY DOES.
SENATOR WARREN IS NOW
FORBIDDEN FROM SPEAKING ABOUT
SESSIONS ON THE SENATE FLOOR
UNTIL HIS CONFIRMATION VOTE,
WHICH IS EXPECTED TO COME
TONIGHT.
AND HE APPEARS, ANTHONY, TO HAVE
