"Jeff Sessions was getting his Reich on!"
Miraculous witness:

#9  She invokes the name of Coretta King as if it's from on High. I take it that Sessions wanted blacks to register before voting just like everybody else. That's so racist. /sarc

#1  From ABC:
"The senator has impugned the motives and conduct of the senator from Alabama,” McConnell said. After that, Daines told Warren to "take her seat," he said.

A majority of senators voted to deny Warren's appeal, effectively silencing her for the rest of the session.
