once when Thurmond did not submit her letter (1986) and yesterday when Liz Warren wasn't allowed to read her letter.#LetCorettaSpeak should be the real hashtag here.
This is not anything against Liz Warren, I think she is an awesome senator. But what was spurned was Coretta, and I personally find that far more abhorrent than partisan squabbling with senate rules.

want to initiate Jim Crow and worse and the sooner the better.
Not surprising, what is surprising is that many people in those rust belt states felt this was OK.

all these sympathy for WWC and all this pretense to be post racial, is not helpful.
