Is there any precedent for the rule being used in the way it was used? (i.e. to regulate debate of the nomination of a U.S. Senator to another position)

In the past it's been used mainly to halt intemperate words between Senators. It was passed after two South Carolina Senators got into a fistfight on the Senate floor back at the start of the 20th century.

The entire point is to build up the next George McGovern.
As opposed to the George Wallace we have in office now? (I apologize in advance to Gov. Wallace for comparing him to the Groppenfuehrer.

I admire Mitch McConnell's tactical mastery. He stole a Supreme Court seat!

I wonder what else he will steal from the American people?
