Political Quotes

“I offer my own concluding remarks by saying that Senator Whitehouse earlier referred to our failure. He characterized it as a failure to accomplish legislation during the last session of Congress. Senators Blunt and Graham were very instrumental in that effort, and I was proud to work with them. But that failure had consequences in alerting the executive branch and galvanizing their will to act. So I would not say it was completely without consequence or benefit. I hope we will actually be successful during this session in passing legislation that is so important to moving the Federal Government even further in a direction where it should be going.”
