Bill Clinton actually said...

"I am prepared to support the high pleading standard of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit."

"That's not what the American people want, and I won't accept it."

"This new law is in the best tradition of America, one articulated by President Andrew Jackson a long time ago, 'Equal opportunity for all; special privileges for none.'"

"This bill does not meet the priorities and needs of our Nation and people."
