Mr. President, I just want to say how much I have come to admire, in a short period of time, the junior Senator from New Jersey. That was a--that was a real speech, you know. We are, obviously, spending 30 hours on the floor to oppose Russ Vought's nomination, and, you know, a lot of people have to come here and speak for 60 minutes or 30 minutes or 90 minutes, and we will take anything, right? Some people just read whatever they have got, and we appreciate all of it because we have to take the floor, and we have to maintain presence on this floor. But that was a beautiful, well-crafted speech about American democracy, about his life story, about his dedication to public service. So I am very honored to work alongside him.
