“I am going to start with a personal story. People constantly ask me where do I get the strength to be a Member of Congress at this difficult time in my life. I have to tell my colleagues that the strength boils down to a day in Lake Tahoe still. I had to kneel down before my two children, Chesare and Chianna, and tell them about the death of their father. While they looked at me, it was through their eyes that they gave me the strength that I needed to go on and do the right thing. I think it is now the time that we, perhaps, look at all of our children's eyes. Look at their eyes for the strength that we need to go forward and to do the right thing. This is about the truth, and it is about the Constitution. But the Constitution is based upon truth. I think all of this perhaps is nothing more than the noise of we are being dragged and kicking our way to the truth. That is what it is about is the truth. I do believe that once we get to the truth, all of this will converge, Democrats, Republicans, the spin in fact, polling data, and reality. It will all converge. When we have that, perhaps this will end up being nothing more than the sound that is made when a leader falls off of his pedestal. Perhaps it will be a lot more than that. But I say the only way we can get to this quickly is to vote for the Committee on the Judiciary resolution and put this work behind us.”
