Robert Byrd: “Twenty-nine men are now dead dead dead simply because they went to work that morning.”

If Congress cannot pass a budget, then we should not be paid.

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

Never, in my view, had America been led by such a dangerous head of state.

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.
