And we want to apologize to you. Apologize to you on behalf of a government that left you behind.

Because, when you look at the way the House of Representatives has been run, it has been run like a plantation. And you know what I'm talking about.

The Republican-controlled House of Representatives is like a plantation.

I predict to you that this administration will go down in history as one of the worst that has ever governed our country.

When you look at the way the House of Representatives has been run, it has been run like a plantation. And you know what I'm talking about. It has been run in a way so that nobody with a contrary point of view has had a chance to present…

What you've done today is invoke the Hogan's Heroes Sgt. Schiltz defense of, I see nothing, I hear nothing.

Senate Democrats are pushing to delay a vote on Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito, whose confirmation hearings wrapped up today.

The confirmation that Roger Coleman's DNA was present reaffirms the verdict and the sanction.

Because it will either confirm the guilt. It may demonstrate, and there's a high probability that it will remain inconclusive. Or it may to some degree exonerate him.

I'm not sitting here, some little woman standing by my man like Tammy Wynette.

Men and women, black and white, your colleagues who say that Sam Alito, whether I agree with him or not, is a really good man.

I know abortion is important. It's important to me. It's important to you. I know it's an important central concept in our jurisprudence. But we can't build a judiciary around that one issue. We can't make judges pledge allegiance to one…

The idea that our president or this administration took the law in their own hands and ignored the precedent of other presidents or case law and just tried to make a power grab, I don't agree with.

I wonder whether he was one Samuel Alito in the 1980s, a different one today, whether he's running away from his record.

Larry King is next, his guest Senator Sam Brownback and Chuck Schumer on the Alito hearings.

Congress passes laws, but this president says that he has the sole power to decide whether or not he has to obey those laws. Is that proper? I don't think so.
