I rise to address the nomination and some other issues. I want to say a few words about nominations. The Senate just confirmed President Obama's third nominee to the DC Circuit this year, and did so without the support of a single Senator…
I just think we have spent a lot of money there, obviously--$683 billion, total, in Afghanistan, and in military and economic aid.

We join our Senators John McCain and Jeff Flake in support of this important legislation and respectfully ask for your support.
Today, September 11, 2013, is a day in which we remember lives cut too short in the attacks on our Nation 12 years ago. We also remember acts of bravery, selflessness, and all that took place that morning and in the days and months and the…
