No, I will not. People for the American Way, Physicians for Social Responsibility, Planned Parenthood, Pride at Work, Progressive Jewish Alliance, the Sierra Club, Smoke Free Educational Services--this goes on--Taxpayers Against Fraud, United American Nurses. It goes on and on. There is more: the Wilderness Society, the Women's Leadership Alliance; the Members of the California delegation: the Honorable Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Lee--all the women of California who are on the Democratic side in the Congress. So you want to talk about it for 30 hours? We will talk. We will talk. This is from 102 law professors from across the United States on Judge Kuhl: Judge Kuhl has spent her entire professional life--in the Government, in private practice, and on the State bench-- aggressively promoting an extremist agenda that is hostile to women, minorities, injured workers, and the environment. Judge Kuhl's record goes back to when she worked in the Reagan administration and tried to persuade the Reagan administration to say that it was OK that Bob Jones University get a tax deduction. She was called part of a band of zealots who did that. So you want to talk about Judge Kuhl. I know her record inside out. I wanted to support a good woman from California. My whole life is spent promoting women but not women who would be hostile to other women and hostile to the guy who maybe needs to join an organization and perhaps get into a law suit. She does not even like the fact there are juries.

We Democrats, we do have a very good and diverse coalition. It truly is diverse, everywhere you look at it. But in terms of leadership in Congress, it is true, they’re getting older.

The way the Senate works, as you know, it’s a supermajority to get anything done. It has nothing to do with age.
