Thomas McClintock actually said...

"The Constitution is at stake. The Framers of our Constitution's enlightened decisions are at stake."

"We are witnessing, I believe, the most tragic mockery of justice in the history of this Nation."

"It is improper and unfair to change the rules in the middle of the game, Mr. Chairman."

"The process that ensued was anything but open, transparent, bipartisan, or equitable, abandoning all past historic due process afforded the minority and the President."
