The Silencing of Senator Elizabeth Warren

No matter which side of this matter you are on, the precedence that this event sets for the future of our Senate is important for everyone to be aware of. This particular article depicting the "Silencing of Elizabeth Warren[...]" appears on CNN. This article focuses on the fact that the silencing of Elizabeth Warren brought far more attention to the point she was trying to make, then just allowing her to read the letter in discussion. It's also curious to consider how Rule 19, used to silence the senator in regards to the nomination of Session's due to apparent "impugning" of another senator, has brought the rarely used rule to the forefront of discussions and raises the possibility of an increase in use.
