We have dealt with this before. We are going to push for higher standards and fuel efficiency, but only to the extent technologically feasible to require an arbitrary figure pulled out of the air to be substituted for the procedure in the Levin-Bond amendment. It makes no sense. I urge all our colleagues who voted for the Levin-Bond amendment to support the motion to table for jobs, for safety and for consumer choice.

All Americans ought to enjoy civil rights, and whatever the court does today, we are going to move a step closer to everyone enjoying these rights.
When the president says he's for something, it doesn't mean it is going to happen. It just means we now know what he feels and how he thinks about it.
Any time a group of people are denied rights and struggle for their rights, that's a civil rights movement.
Of course, it is exactly the same. It's a right that all Americans have and no reason why gay and lesbian people ought not to have these rights too. These are universal rights.
