Male senators were allowed to speak and read the letter from King:

"Ms. Warren was banned from speaking further in the Sessions debate (he was confirmed on Wednesday). Three other male senators, possessing the proper configuration of chromosomes, were allowed to read from Ms. King’s letter without censure. Mr. McConnell, attempting to explain himself, gave birth instead to a million fridge magnets, mugs and fundraising letters: “She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted.”

S'okay, readin's hard.
