Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren could only be held back for so long. After she was interrupted from delivering her intended address during the Senate confirmation hearing for Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions' to be the next attorney general, she continued on her own terms later Tuesday night.
Warren recorded a live video on her Facebook page featuring herself reading a decades old letter penned by Coretta Scott King, Martin Luther King's wife. The 1981 letter, addressed to the Senate Judiciary Committee, was inspired by Sessions, who was being considered to become a federal district court judge in Alabama.
"During the debate on whether to make Jeff Sessions the next Attorney General, I tried to read a letter from Coretta Scott King on the floor of the Senate," Warren wrote in a note that accompanied the Facebook Live video. "The letter, from 30 years ago, urged the Senate to reject the nomination of Jeff Sessions to a federal judgeship. The Republicans took away my right to read this letter on the floor - so I'm right outside, reading it now."
