(CNN)After Sen. Elizabeth Warren was prevented from reading a letter from civil rights activist Coretta Scott King on the Senate floor, several male colleagues were allowed to read some or all of the letter uninterrupted.
Sen. Tom Udall entered the more than 30-year-old letter about Sen. Jeff Sessions, President Donald Trump's attorney general nominee, into the record Wednesday morning.
"I entered Coretta Scott King's letter abt #Sessions into the Senate record and read it from the floor—her words should not be silenced," he tweeted.

"The senator will take her seat." It could have been phrased more neutrally - "the senator will be seated."

Kind of like an extra little dig at Senator Warren because she was a woman daring to challenge the white male establishment. Bastards, every damn one of them.
