And thanks to you at home for joining us at this hour. This is turning out to be a very interesting night in the news. Not only do we have the remarkable turn in the senate, senator Elizabeth Warren according to Mitch Mcconnell running afoul of rule 19 saying she cant impugn a senator, theyre saying she impugned a senator when she read a letter that had been written to the Judiciary Committee when Jeff Sessions was nominated to be a federal judge in 1986, it was a letter from the widow of the reverend dr. Martin luther king, jr. That is being considered immuning a senator and theyve use itting to shut up Elizabeth Warren on the floor of the senate. Incredible. And the optics of calling Coretta Scott king an epithet, saying her words are an epithet that cant be spoken in the United States senate. Yeah. Well have more on that ahead.

Im sure there will be some need to address false claims and fabricated charges during this hearing. Believe it on, i actually have some questions about issue and poll. The first is one have i raised with every incoming attorney general nominee for nearly 25 years and it concerns enforcement of federal laws prohibiting obscenity.
