Political Quotes

“we just concluded a vote and a very disappointing chapter in our effort to reform the way part of our legal system works in this country. We have debated for the last several days how we might change the current system where people have been harmed by goods or services provided for their use by some company and did not get what they should have--they have been shortchanged or maybe even exposed to a dangerous product or harmed by it in some way--and how we might make sure they are made whole and that we have the opportunity to assemble that group of harmed people across States or across the country so they can have their day in court. We are looking for a way to make sure the companies that harmed those people are held accountable and know they are going to face a serious financial consequence if they do something untoward or just wrong with respect to their products or services which they provide. Today we were not able to proceed to the bill and have the opportunity to offer amendments which are germane, pertinent to the bill, relevant to the bill, or those which maybe were not. As we leave here tonight with this business unfinished, I am deeply disappointed. We come to the end of a chapter, not the end of the book.”
