Political Quotes

I thank Senator Wyden for his leadership and for taking the time to join me on the floor. As the Senator pointed out, we have a broad coalition across both parties and across the political spectrum. We also acknowledge that passing the Defense Authorization Act is crucial. We have to keep our military strong in the face of limited resources and a security environment that is rapidly changing. That is why we are not offering a comprehensive bill today. But we will be back. We want to have a fulsome debate. This is a matter my constituents have demanded that we address, and we are going to work to make this happen. I ask my colleague for any further thoughts he might have on this very important matter because the Bill of Rights is our biggest, baddest weapon. When we stand with the Bill of Rights, we can't go wrong.
