Lisa Murkowski said "Mr. President, along with Senators Warner, Chafee and McCain, who are cosponsors, I believe what we have here is an assertion without precedent. The President of the United States claims in a brief filed in the Supreme Court that a pending sexual harassment lawsuit against him should be delayed indefinitely. He claims he is entitled to the protection afforded members of the military under the Soldiers and Sailors Act of 1940. For the President to make the claim that he is a member of the Armed Forces is simply beyond comprehension." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
