    Chris Geidner Retweeted Elizabeth Warren

    In debating Sessions' AG nomination, McConnell used a rule restricting what senators can say about colleagues to limit Warren's speech.https://twitter.com/SenWarren/status/829140005432000512 …

        Chris Geidner Retweeted Matt Viser

        So, Sessions' role as a senator is leading to Warren being barred from speaking during his AG confirmation debate:https://twitter.com/mviser/status/829150068972331009 …

        Chris Geidner added,

        Matt ViserVerified account @mviser
        By a 49-to-43 vote, Senate rules that Elizabeth Warren broke rule impugning a senator. She now cannot speak during debate on Jeff Sessions.

        This, after Sessions voted on DeVos' nomination to be education secretary — saving it from a 49-50 defeat.

        "The senator will take her seat." I have a feeling there will be some regret for having allowed this quote to exist on video.

        How the hell does #Sessions get to maintain a right to not be impugned while giving up a Senate seat for a cabinet position?

        presumably he's still a Senator unless/until he's been confirmed for something else.

        Yeah but then how can a senator ever be nominated for a cabinet position if they can't be critiqued because they're a senator?

        @Sifill_LDF So this only happened because Sessions is a senator?That's an argument for eliminating the rule, not enforcing it.
