I suspect that Warren was rebuked for a different reason beyond rule 19. I suspect that they know she is one of the main instigators of inciting riots from her base she's preaching to on youtube, etc., and her outburst was more than a typical spat on the floor. Her outburst was tailored to incite her followers to harbor blatant disrespect for duly elected officials and the People who disagree with her army that they represent. That she and her media counterpart (MSNBC) are inspiring people to riot in the streets over the results of an election is not a secret in even the slightest sense. And I'm sure this point is not lost on the Senate leadership.
If the GOP framed it up this way, and warned Warren further about the larger meaning of her outburst, they could at once save face and also send a message to other would-be public figures that "inciting disrespect for the results of a democratic vote in our country is the same as sedition". It was more than mere disrespect, it was to foster a malignant disrespect in a throng of people for another duly elected representative or appointee of a duly elected President. You may disagree with that president (the vote of the states who elected him....I personally think he is insane) but you don't incite riots to unseat him and topple peace in our country. You bring a motion in the Senate for impeachment. Which if Warren did, I would heartily support her in doing.
You LOST the power for us Liz. Inciting riots and flaunting calculated public malignant (not just random benign) disrespect for elected officials is NOT how we do things in America to get the power back.. I'm beginning to think that democrat leaders as a group simply failed American Government in high school. They need to understand that you don't rule our country by tyranny of the few or tyranny of a frustrated minority. If you don't like the electoral college, then put another Bill on the floor to abolish it officially. Don't shriek precalculated slander at your colleagues to inspire your already agitated homies to swarm behind you yelling "fight! fight! FIGHT!!!" (about the results of an election).
Warren is lucky, quite lucky this isn't the late 1700s or early 1800s. Because she got off light with Rule 19. They used to have "Rule of the tight necktie" for such acts of sedition back in the old days.
