The overwhelming majority are addicted to drugs or have mental health disorders or both. We want to take care of them. But they have to be off our streets.

I will be interested in hearing what that offer is.

My litmus test will be simple: No aid of any kind as long as there are starving children in Gaza due to the action or inaction of the Israeli government.

The August first deadline is the August first deadline — it stands strong and will not be extended.

The time is long overdue for Congress to use the leverage we have—tens of billions in arms and military aid—to demand that Israel end these atrocities.

And above all, Mr. Bove is religiously obedient to Donald Trump.

We cannot continue to spend taxpayer money on a government which has killed some 60,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 143,000—most of whom are women, children, and the elderly.

I am standing for my police officers. I’m standing for the Constitution, and I’m standing for what’s right. And dear God, if you want to come at me that way, you’re gonna have to pick it up with me, because there’s too much on the line…

I say we reject this and, in a bipartisan way, that we demand and end this kind of constitutionally unjust carving up of the resources that we approve.

Don’t question my integrity. Don’t question my motives. I’m standing for Jersey, I am standing for my police officers, I’m standing for the Constitution and I’m standing for what’s right.

This, to me, is the problem with Democrats in America right now is we’re willing to be complicit to Donald Trump.

What I am tired of is when the president of the United States of America violates the Constitution, trashes our norms and traditions, and what does the Democratic Party do? Comply? Allow him? Beg for scraps? No, I demand justice.

The vicious rhetoric, unfair accusations and abuse directed at Mr. Bove by some on this committee, it has crossed the line.

It’s time for Democrats have a backbone. It’s time for us to fight. It’s time for us to draw lines.

We are standing at a moment where our president is eviscerating the Constitution of the United States of America, and we’re willing to go along with that today. No, no, not on my watch.

I was offended by what the president said, and I’m disappointed that it would result in personal insults.

He has a strong legal background and has served his country honorably. I believe he will be diligent, capable and a fair jurist.

I support the nomination of Mr. Bove. He has a strong legal background and has served this country honorably. I believe he will be diligent, capable and a fair jurist.
