Had I been present for rollcall vote 95 on passage of H.R. 938, I would have voted ``aye.'' I am proud that my colleagues on both sides of the aisle came together in support of continuing our nation's strong relationship with Israel and promoting Israel's right to defend itself against threats and unprecedented challenges in the Middle East. ____________________

The only right answer – and I don't have a lot of confidence that it's going to happen – is that the president says, you know, oops, that was a mistake, and pulls the Bill Pulte appointment.
The right thing to do is for the White House to say tonight that Bill Pulte will not be DNI, and we pass 702 probably with more Democrats and a stronger bipartisan vote.
The president has now assured through this appointment that the single most important intelligence collection tool... is probably the worst appointment into the intelligence community I have ever seen.
