Robert Byrd: “Sometimes, the minority may be right.”

The use of force authority granted to the President extends only to the perpetrators of the September 11 attack.

Makes the majority leader and the majority party the subject of the minority, subject to the control and the will of the minority.

I have said that, as long as the Senate retains the power to amend and the power of unlimited debate, the liberties of the people will remain secure.

Let us clearly understand one thing. The Constitution's Framers never intended for the Senate to function like the House of Representatives.
