The clowns don't know they are the clowns:
That would have been painful — I'd have felt a twinge of sympathy to see them used so cruelly — but it was too funny.

No. Three reasons:
1. There aren't any rules (except common decency and civility) to prevent such, as there are in the Senate.
2. If one violates common decency and civility and lie in a public forum, it is permissible for another to respond in kind.
3. It was a correct statement.
I love it when she gets all the old coots worked up on here.
Anybody know anything about the case that Mrs. King's letter discusses? Is she describing something Sessions did that was bad, or is her presentation twisted?
I presume this was discussed at the hearings anyhow?
I would refer you to the testimony of LaVonn Phillips during the 1986 hearings: https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=pst.000012758128;view=1up;seq=564
The letter Sen. Warren was reading basically accuses a whole lot of black Alabama citizens (Reese Billingslea, Warren Kinard, the Shelton family, etc.) of lying. As far as I can tell from digging into available records, they were not so much lying as simply acting in ways that were against the interest of members of the "civil rights establishment."
Angel-Dyne opines: No, you're not. Uhr has been a regular if not prolific individual commenter for years. You, on the other hand, are part of an easily identifiable and trackable swarm of lefty morons, sourced from the same hive.
But right after Steve uhr bid us adieu at 9:59, this WillRobinson emerges. Looks suspicious to me.
Warren's infamy, contrary evidence and the age of the letter would have blunted its impact regardless of the author.
Silencing her was a poor political choice.
Why I doon't care what the GOP did to Elizabeth Warren:

"Well, that was quick. Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s racial stunt that sparked her removal from the senate floor Tuesday night proved even shorter than her time living in a teepee.
Warren attempted to use the words of Coretta Scott King, the widow of slain civil rights hero Martin Luther King Jr., to smear Sen. Jeff Sessions’ bid for Attorney General. Warren’s now warrant-less claim was that King’s wife’s words framed Sessions as a bigot.
But now a more recent video has surfaced where Coretta King in fact praises Sessions at the launching of the Rosa Parks Library and Museum.
What a difference 12 hours can make."

Why, it's almost as if Sen. Warren has a new book to promote or something.

Do all Chinese look alike to you too?
Few things are more tiresome than watching Althouse troll her own blog. (Where's Garage Mahal when you really need him?)
"The "gallery" is the People of the United States, and all of these Senators serve for our benefit. Not for themselves." Ann- please. We want Trumps tax forms yet we don't want a record of annual increase of post election congressperson wealth accumulation? Your high school civics galls me.
