So, we have a search for some podcasts, then some people’s opinions in an op-ed.
Gotcha.
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. The Texas State republican platform does officially state that they are opposed to teaching critical thinking in the classroom.

You’re the one making the claim.
Back it up or get laughed at and mocked.
In other words, there is no argument. You’re stating stuff without evidence, and I remain incredulous due to your persuasive writing not appealing to anything but the authority of your say-so.

On the one hand, fucking with the makeup of the Supreme Court. On the other hand, reading words for two minutes.
Those seem equivalent. Basically.

“No Senator in debate shall, directly or indirectly, by any form
of words impute to another Senator or to other Senators any conduct
or motive unworthy or unbecoming a Senator.”
They misapplied this rule when ruling against Warren.
For one, she wasn’t imputing conduct or motive unworthy or unbecoming a Senator, she was in fact imputing conduct or motive unworthy or unbecoming an Attorney General - which is, after all, the job of the Senate to do when considering a post to the most powerful prosecutor in the land.
For another, she wasn’t imputing anything to anyone - Coretta Scott King was.

I’m just being realistic. If a charlatan like DeVos can get through confirmation there’s really no chance of Sessions not making the cut.

That’s a shame. One of the things that has impressed me in the past is the way US students were sent out in to the World armed with a critical vocabulary.

I think that tanks and soldiers and secret police figure in there somewhere too.

Ok, I’ll bite: how did she break Senate rules?
She was reading a letter intended as prior evidence of Sessions’ lack of fitness for the role of Attorney General. Nothing in the letter broke Rule 19.
