America isn't Massachusetts.
It doesn't matter that they don't. Free speech is still a value that Americans cherish. Forcing a person to shut up, no matter how irritating the person is, doesn't go over well by many people. We aren't Russia or China (at least not yet). Not everything is about party. For instance, I can't stand Rosie O'Donnell. No matter how much I would like the government to make her be quiet, I still think she has a right to speak her mind.

How am I lying, You said they all preplanned to leave simply to not be there to support Warren, a Statement that doesnt make sense, and can be easily disproven by the fact that Bernie Sanders was holding alive debate.


I dont know why the others werent there, I never claimed to, but seeing as 2 of the missing senators were from Delaware and Another from California, I would doubt what you claim is true.

And as I said earlier, you have yet to prove a single one left for your reason, and the overall argument proven false by Bernie.

As to the OP, I thought it was silly to silence her, except to note one thing. The Dems are dragging every single one of these confirmations out as long as possible.

Then I have a problem with CNN reporting on it and they said "There's going to be some backlash over this, now the letter will get even more attention" which is very true but then one of the commentators adds something about how it was even worse because she is a woman.

How can you STILL have it both ways? Either women are equal and deserve no special treatment or they are too delicate and need to stay out of politics. Can't be both. Same thing with Hillary during the debates. Tough enough to be there but then crying about everything when things got tough.

Lastly Warren then did a telephone interview with Lemon and had the audacity to say "they are cramming these people down our throats sideways". This is ALREADY the most dragged out confirmation of cabinet appointees in the entire history of America. But yeah, they are cramming them down your throat?

So, cut out the BS, run along... nobody wants to listen to your lies.
You mean his lies. Remember, he is the one who made the false claim. He is apparently calling me a liar because I cant account for where the other senators were or why they left.

Sub-Saharan African descent would show as Negroid, while European, Middle Eastern or South Asian (i.e. India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh) would show Caucasoid
So the most your DNA test MIGHT show is that she has some Asian or Amerindian blood -- which proves nothing.

And she probably doesn't have any of that, anyway.

I actually wish she did.

Then she wouldn't just be an embarrassment to white people, but to non-white people as well.

This was within the rules and they followed the rules and were within their rights to do so. Why is this even an issue?

Now it's an outrage because democrats didn't like the result? You think if democrats had a majority, they wouldn't do the same or worse?

Yes you did. First you said.

Incorrect. Then you said

Incorrect.

When the fact of the matter is they don't use blood quantum. And anyone who is a member of a Native American Tribe, any tribe, knows why. You are simply making up nonsense that you can't defend, and as this example proves changing it as we go along.

Elizabeth Warren is not a Cherokee Native American and nothing that you have posted proves otherwise.

And you are asserting that every Democratic senator was in favor of it... you tried to spin it by lying... YOU LIED, GET OVER IT...

To be fair, many of the candidates did not complete ethics paperwork. Also, the Republicans held off
on Sessions because they needed his vote for DeVos.

Billionaire situations are complicated. Viola withdrew his own nomination. I believe Obama
had one billionaire pick and it too six months to sort out.
