This is really getting nasty.

1. Franken's about to punch that jerk.

Do it!!!

2. That will most likely not

go well.

3. I AM WATCHING!

4. Is Cornyn showing his anti-sematism?

This reminds me of "YOU LIE"

5. Cronyn is a disgusting jerk.

[SharonAnn]

6. Al Franken on a righteous rant! Go, Al!

[Paladin]

7. Jeez, I didn't think Cornyn had the guts to say things like that.

I always figured he was the emptiest suit in D.C.

Al Franken, feel free to punch that douchebag.

13. televised hearings on Jeff Sessions' confirmation as Attorney General.

Al Franken is using his allotted time to oppose 'Jeff.' Cornyn just interrupted Franken by saying Franken should just shut up because his testimony is useless and we need to get on with the vote. Clearly out-of-bounds.

9. Sigh

Could you provide more details. Where are they? What are they arguing about? Otherwise this post is totally useless.

12. Turn on the senate hearings on Sessions' confirmation.

[leftynyc]

14. If I was sitting in front of a TV

I wouldn't have to ask. So you answered one question - it's the Sessions hearings. Now what has Franken said?

[Chipper Chat]

15. Franken is just giving his opinion and facts about Jeff Sessions.

My reaction was not what he was saying it was that John Cornyn was really out of line regarding Senate courtesy and rules. Cornyn is a jerk for what he did.

16. The Dems on the committee

should put in a formal censure of Cornyn's behavior. Ignoring it just emboldens the swine. Make McConnell -ON THE RECORD-comment about his behavior.

10. Franken is awesome...RI senator before him was also awesome...

Keep fighting Dem senate!

This will hopefully come back and bite the GOP...they own this shitty cabinet...

[Chipper Chat]

11. Franken is entitled to what he is doing.

The republicans are gloating and pushing the envelope with their power grab. Cornyn clearly overstepped his position by rudely interrupting Franken's testimony. He may be mildlye reprimanded by McTurtle.

18. I can hear the reprimand now....tut...tut with a finger shake!

20. Am I remembering this correctly?

Isn't there some type of jail in the Congressional basement?
