- While delivering remarks on the nomination of Senator Jeff Sessions to be Attorney General, Sen. Elizabeth Warren is warned by the Chair, Sen. Steve Daines, and about 22 minutes later by Senator Mitch McConnell of her violation of Rule XIX of the Senate by impugning Sen. Sessions. Watch full Senate session here: cs.pn/2k0mAvn
Why does the Parliamentarian say everything? What's even the point of having a senator chair?
Most Senators don't know every Senate Rule. The rules do also describe, what exactly the chair has to say in some situations. Thats why they are getting told what to say. Its the same story in the House, where it looks even worse. Because the actual chair (Speaker / Vice President (or President pro Tempore), almost never actually presides over the chamber, any Senator or Representative gets authorized by the Speaker or the President pro Tempore to preside over the days session. Mostly, the authorized persons are new to the chamber and get the chair in order to learn the proceedings. I don't think this is a very good idea because it looks soooo bad and helpless. Especially in the House.
The Senator chair gets to repeat the rules for the record. You know like the big special effects stuff in the wizard of oz 😂 😂 lol
The Parliamentarian is bipartisan and is there to interpret the rules of the Senate for senators such as rulings and procedures and process.
Why are you talking about the Parliamentarian? She's not even in the video!
Edit: Nevermind I'm stupid
how are you supposed to debate about jeff sessions nomination if you are not allowed to speak of any criticism?. How can you object something if you are impeded on your right of free speech?
Thats how dumb she is. Can't speak for herself just quoting paragraphs of someone else talking shit about another senator... which is against the rules.... which you don't understand....
Good ole American "rules"
@@nicholassanchez9562 she’s almost certainly a hell of a lot smarter than you Mr. Sanchez, and she also speaks the truth.
@@nicholassanchez9562 In context she is quoting a former senator's statements on the appointment of Sessions to a different position that required Senate confirmation. It is entirely justified as that was not her entire speech but merely an on the record account of previous statements made before the Senate. In fact, the rule only applies because Sessions happened to become a senator and was a sitting senator at the time of his appointment to Attorney General. It is a bit of a niche rule and circumstance and certainly does not qualify her as "dumb", please do better to form an actual critique next time instead of calling people names. Thank you.
The “violation” was a violation of the letter of the rule, but not the spirit in which it was created. I think it was a stretch.
When time is needed to discuss a matter off the record, quorum call.
Mitch McConnell actually having some guts. shocking.
I see courage on display which makes me proud!!
Senator Warren, I salute you.
Why? All she did was be an annoying bitch.
Violating a rule in Senate you applaud her? What kind of citizen you are. Supporting the corruption of their party making them glorious! She is also a fraud when she claimed to be a Native descendant to get help in College and opportunity to a high government position! If she can't attain to rules, she need to quit! No preferences!
New Possibilities I do not salute her. accuser, troublemaker,fearmongerer,nasty troublemaker.
New Possibilities talking about elizabeth warren.
New Possibilities , may I ask wat are you saluting her for?
What a strange place this is
It’s a misleading title, wouldn’t you say, C-SPAN?
This was a ruling from the Parliamentarian of the Senate, appointed by McConnell, the Senate can overrule the Parliamentarian at any time, and the role has no real power, it's purely advisory.
That parliamentarian definitely was biased... there are some things I wanna say about her but I will refrain outta respect but it seems that lady obviously had a bias against Warren
They are bipartisan
@@paulpetrovich6869 the parliamentarian?
@@DejaunWright sorry, non partisan. So they don’t associate with either party. They aren’t supposed to be biased to a specific party
@@paulpetrovich6869 That's how its supposed to be, however, thats not always the case. On paper, they are a non-partisan entity, but in terms of actuality, it is very likely that they possess some political biases. Each time a party flips a legislative house in Congress, they hire new staff that tend to share their political views so its still likely the parliamentarian had a bias against Warren.
@@DejaunWright Don't think this parliamentarian is biased. She seems to annoy both political parties equally - Ted Cruz for example during Trump's presidency was calling for her to be fired. Furthermore Warren has often spoken highly of her even after this.
That is evil what you are doing
Something about the way she says "Blacks" doesn't sit right with me
aaron bell it's condescension at best
"Blacks" was a perfectly acceptable use of word for African-Americans at the time the letter was written.
Good God, will they every go away?!??
shepherd rescue Nope, we'll fight trump and his band of crazies for the next 4 years, throwing roadblocks to stop his insane agenda. Just like the tea party did against President Obama.
Except the democrats have no lever of power. They will moan and cry but can`t stop anything.
What are they going to do?
Plutonius X for now, check back after mid terms
Anyone know who the woman is advising senator Daines on what to say? Just curious.
Kwisclub TA The Senate Parliamentarian
All other Senators should read the letter on the floor.
Sessions is a racist and cannot be excused for his appalling history.
Can I see proof of his racism? How come the accusations have only come up when he was appointed to AG and why has Senator Warren gotten along with a so-called racist in the senate previously?
You're making assumptions. Sessions doesn't go one day without opposition to his abhorrent behavior. Go back and watch the hearings -- the questions focused on specific instances of him lying about his history and being refuted by colleagues left and right. He lied about his work and he has tried to cover up his racism, but the facts are not hidden. He's a monster.
Racist old people will exist and live out their days. I have no objection to them living in the past, but they cannot be allowed to be installed in positions of power and authority to corrupt the law and undermine the government.
Still waiting on that proof he's a racist...
So quick to fling that racist card out there aren't you. That's the position of someone deflecting. You must be the racist.
Understand that she broke a Senate rule, therefore she had to sit down. Like a child who broke a rule, even if it was from a letter, she had to sit down for timeout.
Letter from 30 years ago?
That looks like an expensive chair. How often does he sit in that thing?
Title XIX basically states "don't, through any medium, deliberately talk shit about another senator; don't be a disrespectful shit." I've said it once, I'll say it a thousand times if I have to, if you can't handle the simplest of rules of the job you do, find a new job. You're unfit for your current one. Warren should be ashamed and only managed to make herself look like a fool who can't understand the simple concept of "stop talking shit."
In addition, the main reason that rule was put in place is to keep the floor from turning into a Personal Attack forum. Nothing would get done if levying personal attacks against fellow senators was all they did. Attack their position, not the person.
Reading a letter that disqualified him for a lower DOJ office in the past in an effort to point out why he is unqualified for the higher office today is NOT intentionally impugning someone's character. Instead, it is a re-examination of relevant evidence THAT HAS BEEN ENTERED INTO THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD! Just because Sessions is a senator now, doesn't magically make facts about him untrue! Get out of your alt-reality bubble for one goddam second, CHRIST!
None of that matters. Facts: They were IN DEBATE on the Floor. Parts of said Letter is inflammatory. Rule XIX applies.
Calling someone a disgrace isn't exactly something you can call fact, and that's what they called her out on. If she can't keep herself from talking shit about a fellow senator and can't seem to understand the very simple rule 2 separate superiors told her to stop breaking, I'd like to know how she's qualified for her position. Simple comprehension is something a kindergartener should have.
The rule wasn't used when Ted Cruz called Leader McConnell a liar on the floor and questioned his motives. It is selectively applied by the Majority to silence dissent.
The the title made it seem like it was some kind of extreme rule violation like cussing on the floor or something, totally misleading because I my eyes Senator Warren did nothing wrong, unless free speech is in violation of the rules.
I mean, it's your opinion if it's right or wrong, he's just following the senate rules as agreed upon by I'm guessing both dems and reps
Free speech only protects individuals from the government, not the government from the government.
@@zachellinthorpe1277 I argue a good Senate rules face-off is juicy.
I don't even know when the hell she said that Senator _________ was a disgrace?😊
Anybody who needs someone to tell them what to say shouldn’t be saying anything at all. (in reference to the Chair) She knows what she’s doing. She planned for it.
Every president pro tempore has that, Republican or Democrat. Every single chair, even the VP has the clerks there to state the official "dialogue" to use.
the funny thing about rules is that they wont remember them. thas the reason for these clerks so that there is SOMEONE willing to keep track of them all because god knows gov won't do it.
You can see the worms surface in these comments.
I agree with
WArren Race baiting again
Bit Pagar nothing new there liberals do it everyday now.
God. I wish presiding officers actually understood the rules of the Senate well enough to be competent in the chair. Instead we have parliamentarians running the Senate as they literally spoon feed the lines to the chair like a bad high school play--parliamentarians who were not elected. I know that parliamentarian knows the rules like no one else, but that's the problem. She should run for the Senate and preside in the chair. We might be better off with a chair that actually understands what to say.
Also side note, good job to Senator Warren here for acting so quickly on her feet. Her powers of debate shined here.
The Vice President used to preside over the senate, and on the rare occasion that he could not the president pro tempore would preside over the senate. It would be nice if the Vice Presidents would actually start doing their job again and regularly preside over the senate like they were meant to.
Why? Senators presiding is mostly given to Juniors so they can learn. Parliamentarian is there to advise them, and teach them the rules. That's their job.
now why would a senator vote against a bill? maybe because there was something attached to it that was a bad law or was against what his constituents wanted?
CSPAN owes an apology to Senator Warren and an official reprimand to their staff member regarding the false accusation of the Senate mediator and attorney to Senator Warrens reading of the late Coretta Scott Kings letter on the Senate floor. Their ruling did not apply, and they withdrew their ruling upon the basis Senator Warren's objection of how it did not apply. UA-cam should also apologize for posting this biased inflammatory statement that is contradicted by a careful examination of the video itself.
Terrible mistake in a time when it's so important to get it all right.
I am not sure how you think this website works sir but youtube does not post the videos and as a result holds no responsibility for its "inflammatory" nature
Had she been the nominee trump would have won.
I couldn’t stand to watch her anymore.
I'm really glad this happened. Now we all can become familiar with "rule 19." I'm no supporter of Warren, but I was confused by what transpired here. Now, I can be less confused 👍
I think some people Don't vote! I meet lots of people who just don't vote, they don't care. Mail in ballots work, why go to the voting booth?
Lunatic
C-SPAN SWAMP DEMOCRAT OPERATIVES RIGGED CALLS 🤣
Disgraceful conduct from Senator Warren.
I'm 3 degrees right of dirty harry, but I don't hear the rule being broken. Can you point out exactly where? In minutes and seconds on this video?
What you need to understand about Elizabeth Warren is that she believes the rule need to followed except when they when they disagree with her opinion's. Then she believes that she has the right to do or say anything she wants.
Defending our First Amendment Rights is the very core of Patriotism.
Why is there no context to this video? Can i have the previous 15 minutes as well, or are you here to push a political agenda like everyone else?
3 years later but this was debating during the senate confirmation process of Jeff Sessions to become the Attorney General. She was reading a letter Coretta Scott King wrote 30 years ago about Jeff Sessions when he was nominated in the 80s to be a federal judge calling him out for his history of being racist.
This video is a catch 22. Senators not allowed to say negative things about other senators, but they're debating the merits of whether the senator is qualified and should be confirmed for another position. So they have to weigh the merits, but aren't allowed to mention anything bad from their past because of the senate rule.
@@ajwebber Lol so the parliamentarian basically states that everyone has to be all nice and butterflies and rainbows. No wonder that room is such a joke.
I don't know what's worse. Boycotting and not showing up for work- or attending and verbally showing collateral brain damage and dementia.
She can violate whatever the fuck she wants! #madamepresident
Jasonrose60 damn right!!!
No one is denied their rights. You are stalling. You are an obstruction to all that is just,true,and right.
She knows the rules. If the Senate started hurling insults, whether written by themselves or another party, then the Senate would devolve into chaos.
If you can't follow the rules then don't apply for the job. How hard is that to comprehend?
I'm 3 degrees right of dirty harry, but I don't hear the rule being broken. Can you point out exactly where? In minutes and seconds on this video?
Well the first one I can find is at around 1:50. She had said a sitting senator was a disgrace to the department of justice. The stuff at the beginning I don't think counts because it was in a letter from thirty years ago.
Elizabeth Warren could possibly be MORE annoying and assuming that Hillary Clinton. Pretty tough task.
Lock her up!!
..what is a black citizen like..?
.
(I'm blind)
.well,.we all .." know what"
...PS
If they're all citizens..whyy the black define nation..
(. sorry, definition)
Trey Gowdy makes a very good point. Democrats say this rule does not have to be followed, but who makes the decision what rules to follow and what rules not to follow. All rules need to be followed. The reason why Rule XIX exists is because the meeting needs to ensure that the most competent person becomes the member of cabinet, to that end only competency related topic should be raised. No personal attack. No room for political game. Period.
Senator you are short a few feathers, grow up, and change your diaper.
Why do blacks need a pole...
Ahhh end '(a pole liability)
These radical leftists need some medication, they are losing their head
I wish Warren were VP!!!
She got MITCH slapped!! Bwaaahahahah!
Pocahontas!
Senator Elizabeth Warren is going to make a fine president 2020!
