Mr. President, I am very grateful to my colleague from New Mexico, Senator Udall, for joining me today for my 218th ``Time to Wake Up'' speech. Senator Udall is a formidable advocate for conserving public lands and protecting endangered…

Mr. President, as I resume my remarks, we head westward to the tallest peaks of the Rockies, where, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, the Northern Rocky Mountains have been warming more than three times as fast as the global average…

Thank you both for being here. You have been organizing, based on your comments today, very diligently for the 2018 elections and trying to anticipate malign activities that we saw in 2016.

Shouldn't they be allowed to sort of have a check that says every two months delete it?

I think Senator Warner and several others have brought it up, is the prevalence of bots.

We need to make sure that there's a precision and accuracy as we label those things.

I would hope that you would continue to work, and we would urge our colleagues in government to work with you, in that regard.

Gentlemen, your evaluation of the nominee related to his qualifications and produced a conclusion that he was 'well qualified'?

I am not willing to concede that there is any legitimacy to this entire committee confidential process in this hearing.

I do not accept its legitimacy. I do not accept its validity.

I want to make it absolutely clear that I do not accept the process of this committee confidential routine that we went through.

I think this is not an offshore storm. It has made landfall when you see polling that shows that 49 percent of Americans think a corporation will get a fairer shot in the United States Supreme Court than an individual.

The only thing the Supreme Court requires is to disclose who paid for the brief.

It has gotten a lot easier since now you can just get a huge special interest to set up a 501(c)(4) and drop tens of millions of dollars in.

The Roberts Five has gone on almost 80 of these partisan excursions since Roberts became Chief.

The sad fact is that there is no consequence for telling the Committee fairy tales about stare decisis and then riding off with the Roberts Five, trampling across whatever precedent gets in the way of letting those big Republican interests…

Every time a big Republican corporate or partisan interest is involved, the big Republican interest wins.

When does a pattern prove bias? I wish this were an idle question.
