Please share those details.

Obviously, she wasn't.

Sessions conducted himself properly during the Marion Three case, and Mrs King slanders him by trying to present it as him being a racist.

Care to let us know if you believe Sessions acted properly? I'm guessing no.
Coretta Scott King was very much aware of Sessions' actions, and how they impacted the black community. She was in a unique position to share their perspective and their concerns with the Senate. And she did so. You may not like her perspective or her opinions, but, see, that's the thing. In the United States, freedom of speech means respecting her right to share her perspective and opinions. And it means respecting Warren's right to share King's perspective and opinions.

Mrs King's letter was thoughtful and well-written. There was nothing in it that violated the Senate's decorum. Proof of that FACT can be seen in that FOUR other Senators then read Mrs King's letter or portions thereof, and none were accused of violating the Senate's decorum.

Those niggling little facts, eh?

I'm not going into this Elizabeth Warren lied about being Native American thing again, especially when I don't think she did lie. And anyways, Kennedys gain was not drowning, I don't see how you equate the two

The Senate has rules to prevent such attacks on other members.

Does you avoidance of the Marion Three case mean that you concede that Sessions acted appropriately?

The letter was not a lie but I see like other republicans you don't believe in free speech either in the house or the senate.

Nope. Both true. I posted the Harvard Crimson link, and everyone knows what happened in Chappaquiddick.

Obviously you did not read pages 5 through 6 of her letter.

If you read it and then took the time to read up on the case, you'd understand if you could get past your partisan handcuffs for a short period.

Warren did lie for personal financial gain (see the Harvard Crimson link I posted), and Ted Kennedy didn't report the accident or seek help for his companion because he was driving while drunk. Ted Kennedy waited 9 hours to report the single car accident.

I'm not going to read that, so don't bother trying to convince me. Just like I'm not going to convince you. And round and round we go.....

Maybe he thought she could hold her breath for an incredibly long time.

It would take years of me holding my breath before a liberal admits Sessions did his duty properly in regards to the Marion Three prosecution.
