Bill Clinton

the nomination of William H. Pryor, Jr., to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals is nothing more than a political promotion cloaked in the thin veil of a judicial nomination. Judge Pryor has been an active and dutiful soldier in the…

I am pleased today to note the anniversary of the Griswold v. Connecticut Supreme Court decision. Griswold v. Connecticut marked a major turning point for generations of women. For the first time, the Supreme Court recognized that women…

while I commend my colleagues for the compromise that momentarily spared this body from the so-called nuclear option, their agreement did nothing to change the fact that several of President Bush's judicial nominees fall well outside the…

I misled people, including even my wife.

I rise to discuss the Dirty Bomb Prevention Act of 2005, which I am introducing today in the Senate, and Congressman Markey is introducing in the House. Since September 11, we have increased our focus on dirty bombs, and rightly so. Most…

today, Senator Collins and I, and in the House of Representatives, Congressman Kennedy and Congressman Ros- Lehtinen, are reintroducing the Positive Aging Act, in an effort to improve the accessibility and quality of mental health services…

while I commend my Senate colleagues for their success at averting an unnecessary showdown over the so-called nuclear option, the fact remains that Justice Priscilla Owen is still ill suited to serve a lifetime appointment on the Fifth…

I favor cuts in the Defense budget and carrier groups and troops in Europe, in Star Wars in any number of other areas.

I rise to address the emergency supplemental appropriations conference report. When the vote occurs, it is likely to be, if not unanimous, very close to being unanimous. And why? Because this conference report contains the funding that is…

before I make my remarks on the supplemental appropriations conference report, I commend my friend and colleague from California. As we have come to expect, her presentation was thorough, comprehensive, factually and historically accurate…

I felt obliged to encourage healthy eating and exercise after my own personal struggle with heart disease.

Clinton says he felt obliged to encourage healthy eating and exercise after his own personal struggle with heart disease.

I, too, am enthusiastic about this nominee. This is a supremely qualified judicial nominee, and he will serve with great distinction in the Southern District in New York. He does hail from a family and tradition of public service, and his…

It's not useful to sit around and worry about things you have no control over. I want to be able to breathe again fully.

It's a routine sort of deal, and it'll knock me out of commission for a week or two, then I'll be back to normal. It's no big deal. And, you know, I felt well enough to go to Asia to try to keep up with President Bush, and we're going to…

Clinton said some $7 billion in donations have been pledged.

when the time comes I intend to vote in favor of Judge Chertoff's nomination to be Secretary of Homeland Security. There is no position in government of greater importance to the security of our country and of my home State of New York…

I add my voice to so many in New York and Washington who are mourning the loss of Representative Shirley Chisholm of New York. Shirley Chisholm was a bold pioneer who fought for civil rights and equality with an energy that forever changed…

I oppose this legislation called the Class Action Fairness Act of 2005, because I do not believe it is fair to litigants who have legitimate claims that are most appropriately addressed by our state courts. Yes, there are some problems in…

we are here on the floor this morning, after last night's State of the Union Address, to begin what is going to be a debate about the future of Social Security. Now, last night we did not receive any details from the President, and we do…

I agree that Judge Gonzales's life story embodies the American dream. Judge Gonzales is the son of immigrants, and lived in a home with his parents and eight brothers and sisters that I am sure had a lot of love but that did not have a lot…

the vote on whether to confirm Condoleezza Rice as Secretary of State is a difficult decision. The administration and Defense Department's Iraq policy has been, by any reasonable measure, riddled with errors, misstatements, and…

I don't mean to pick on him. But I mean, I'm not sure I want the politicians giving their storied pasts, particularly socially, telling us how we should live.

If this isn't good for my heart, I don't know what is. Thank you.

Let me just say this, the Republicans aren't the only people who want four more years here.
