I also think this is a good time for anyone defending the GOP and upvoting the bullshit on this thread (Sessions apologists) to look in the mirror and accept you don't really like MLK Jr. or the things he stood for. He said much harsher and truer things than what his wife wrote in this letter. At least be honest with yourself.

Sad!

She quoted a letter from MLK's Wife that called out the racism of Sessions eons ago in the 80's. Not really funny at all. Points out how we really feel about MLK Jr. and how hypocritically fragile the GOP is.

SC1: have you read the letter? It takes one case of prosecuting potential voter fraud and takes it to hyperbolic levels by claiming Sessions was personally trying to intimidate old black people into not voting which is a gross mischaracterization of the case. It made no mention of his other good Civil Rights work. It was a biased personal attack, one not based in the issues. The exact sort of thing that this rule was made to prevent.

Being the wife of an assassinated Civil Right Leader does not give you special authority nor does reading the letter of said wife allow you to break Senate rules.

SC1: How is his wife part of his legacy? He spent more time in jail or with his mistresses than with her...

You also fail to get the point about the conviction. Local police told him it was a drug bust gone bad. He was pressured to not pursue it and not go for the death penalty. He got the FIRST death penalty conviction for a white man killing a black man in Alabama history.

I never said the KKK doesn't exist. But functionally it no longer exists. If you think it does I can posts some links about its operations in the 60s, 70s and 80s, but let's be honest you wouldn't read them. A couple of guys who post on stromfront is not a functional KKK.

Not to mention as I already said I read the letter, which is how I was able to refute it. You already admitted the letter was not truthful!!!

Yeah, I think this might backfire on the Republicans. People are discussing it. I wish Warren would run for President.

OW, actually a lot of People thought this was wrong.

Do you listen to congressional hearings, they are rude and talk over everyone. During the Devros vote it was constant talking over each other nothing special for it to happen to Warren.
