California GOP Lawmaker Is Removed During Speech Criticizing Tom Hayden

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Just a couple of weeks ago Democrats were outraged over Elizabeth Warren being cut off during a speech she was making on the Senate floor. Now, California Democrats do the exact same thing to a Republican State Senator. I suspect we'll see the same outrage from the posters on this board who were so rattled by Warren's experience, yes?

Oh absolutely. If people say partisan hacks aren't consistent, they don't know partisan hacks.

 

[Marion Morrison]

Was she out of order or not? I'm thinking this is a "too soon"
type of thing. I'm thinking poor taste as well.

This forum is now 99% complaints about hypocrisy, real or imagined.

From your link:

She spoke during a portion of the Senate session reserved for memorializing people who have died, and the presiding senator told security to remove her.

Elizabeth Warren was reading a testimony about the person the confirmation hearing was on.

Can you really not see the difference?

Speaking out of order. Her remarks would have been accepted into the record later.

Hit the bricks!

Warren was also out of order, since she violated a Senate rule.

Out she went.

Why did you phrase the question so as to put the onus on liberal posters here?

Why wasn't your question,

I suspect we'll see the same defense of the California Democrats from the posters on this board who defended the Senate Republicans, yes?

Maybe we could be tasteless like the ones calling Warren a Redskin, or Pocahontas.

According to the Senate rules, a Senator is not allowed to speak ill about another Senator while speaking on the floor. While I personally think that is a stupid rule, particularly when Warren, as you pointed out, was speaking about another Senator being confirmed to a cabinet position, no, there is no difference given the rules are what they are.

He did it because you're so entertaining dancing with your hair on fire.

We really can't come to an agreement that time allotted for memorializing the dead should be used to that end instead of attacks?

There absolutely is a difference that you can acknowledge without invocation of Senate rules.

She was out of order. It was proper to remove her.

Or Trump a cheeto

 

[whitehall]

It does seem inappropriate to criticize a former state senator, who died years ago, on the state senate floor. Don't they have other things to do like deal with flooding and mudslides and secession?

I think it had something to do with a more archaic rule about speaking of the same subject twice.

Nonetheless, the rule is there, silly as it may be, and got enforced.
